Safeguarding
is often a term associated with the protection and welfare
of children; however many adults are defined as being vulnerable
and need safeguarding. Not all adults are able to take care
of or protect themselves; some may be at harm of being exploited
due to disability, sensory impairment or simply lack the awareness
and skills to manage or respond to dangers posed from others,
all of which can impact significantly on their welfare and
well-being.
