Neglect | Safeguarding Training
Everyone deserves care, support and protection from danger, but sometimes things go wrong. Neglect is the failure to meet a child or vulnerable adult’s basic needs, and it’s a serious problem. Neglect often goes unnoticed but is actually very common. Vulnerable people can also neglect themselves and make decisions that aren’t in their best interests. It’s really important to recognise the risks and warning signs of neglect and help to protect people from harm.
