Professionals

Professionals 

Professionals, volunteers and staff who meet vulnerable adults in the course of their work have a particular role to play in safeguarding.

  • You should be able to recognise vulnerable adults and potentially abusive situations
  • You should share your concerns with appropriate people

Managers must additionally:

  • Ensure that staff are trained to recognise abuse and are supported to report concerns
  • Ensure that the Buckinghamshire Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults multi-agency policy and procedures are adopted and form part of your organisation's internal procedures

Please let us know if you have suggestions regarding ways in which your access to information can be improved by contacting us bsvab@buckscc.gov.uk.
