Suffolk Family Carers is committed to keeping adults, young people and children (any person under 18) that we work alongside safe. We commit to acting appropriately to allegations, reports or suspicions of abuse.

We commit to providing safeguarding training to all staff, Trustees and volunteers. We have relevant policies and procedures in place to support our commitment. Our Safeguarding Children, Young People and Adults at Risk Policy is in accordance with the Care Act 2014 and in line with Suffolk Safeguarding Partnership (suffolksp.org.uk) . Our policy ensures we know how to identify abuse and how to report it. If we need to share information with partners we ensure we adhere to the UK data protection regulations (UK GDPR).

We will ensure we work with you if we have a safeguarding concern, however if we believe the matter is deemed serious (such as threat to safety) then we may share your information without your consent.

If you have a safeguarding concern please report it via the Safeguarding Partnership Concerned — Suffolk Safeguarding Partnership (suffolksp.org.uk) or call 999 if you believe you, a child or adult is in immediate danger.
