Safeguarding

Protecting the People We Support

Positive Impact Care Group is dedicated to protecting adults and children from abuse. We are committed to meeting our duty of care to all people we support in all settings.

Our strong commitment to safeguarding is detailed in our Safeguarding Adults policy. The standards outlined in the Safeguarding Adults policy apply to all employees of PICG. The policy sets out our robust procedures and processes which should be utilised in conjunction with our mandatory staff training to support the identification and reporting of concerns of abuse, enabling a consistent, timely and effective response. Our approach to safeguarding reflects statutory guidance and meets legislative and regulatory requirements.

PICG's Safeguarding Adults policy is reviewed annually and the latest version of the policy is available to view and download.

For more information please view our Safeguarding Adults Policy & Procedure.
