Wales Safeguarding Procedures

The Wales Safeguarding Procedures detail the essential roles and responsibilities for practitioners to ensure that they safeguard children and adults who are at risk of abuse and neglect.

These procedures are intended to guide safeguarding practice for all those employed in the statutory, third (voluntary) and private sector in health, social care, education, police, justice and other services.

The new Wales Safeguarding Procedures were launched on 11th November, 2019. There will be no printed copies of the procedures. Instead they are available to everyone online, either via the dedicated Wales Safeguarding Procedures website or the mobile app which is available for both iPhone and Android devices.

Included as part of the Procedures are Practice Guides. These can be accessed via this link.
