The safeguarding process
If you have experienced any form of abuse Gloucestershire Council will work with the police, health services, voluntary organisations and anyone else who can help to make and keep you safe. We will work together and share information to try and protect you from further abuse.
These leaflets will tell you what we do, when we do it and how we do it. Our aim is to involve you at every stage and to support you to make informed decisions.
