Safeguarding and Equality

At TAMHI we value the importance of safeguarding.  We work with 1000s of young people each year and through our own robust training, Access NI checks and engagement with our young people we ensure we adhere to best practice. We also working in the Mental Health Sector work actively with people young and old who are vulnerable. Everyone has the basic human right to live a safe life, sheltered from abuse, neglect and harm. If you work with or care for vulnerable people, you are legally responsible for upholding this right and ensuring they are appropriately supported. Implementing safeguarding protocols is the best way to offer this care and protect those individuals from people and situations that could cause them harm. This guide explains the importance of safeguarding and common issues to look out for when supporting children and vulnerable adults Safeguarding is crucial as it prevents harm, abuse and neglect from affecting those who cannot protect themselves. By creating comprehensive support networks, you can assist vulnerable people with health care and financial aid whilst upholding their standard of living and embracing their dignity.
