Safeguarding Adults
We’re committed to protecting adults with care and support needs from abuse and neglect. Our multi-agency safeguarding approach is making a real difference in communities across the county.
How we're making the difference that matters:
Enhanced protection
Our safeguarding policies help protect adults from all forms of abuse—physical, emotional, financial, and more—ensuring they feel safe and supported.
Promoting wellbeing
By focusing on safety and dignity, we help people live more independent, fulfilling lives.
Working together
We collaborate with a wide range of partners—health services, police, fire services, and community groups—to ensure consistent and effective safeguarding across Gloucestershire.
Care Act 2014
Our policies are based on the principles in the Care Act 2014, ensuring everything we do is legally sound and ethically right.
Community involvement
We encourage everyone to be a good neighbour. Local groups are actively involved—for example, working with the Fire Service to support people who hoard, helping them live more safely.
Together, we’re creating a safer Gloucestershire
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you’re a professional, a neighbour, or a family member—your actions can help protect vulnerable adults and build a stronger, safer community.
