Safeguarding is the protection of children, young people and adults from abuse and neglect.
It is about protecting them, preventing their abuse or neglect and educating those around them to recognise the signs and dangers.
We are committed to safeguarding adults, young people and children from abuse and neglect. We work closely with all eight local authorities, healthcare providers, safeguarding partnerships and networks of professionals to help prevent the abuse of adults, young people and children in north east London.
