Safeguarding Charter Signed in Walsall: Our Promise to Safe, Dignified Home Care
Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do at Caring Care. This week, our Safeguarding Champions came together in our Walsall office to sign our Safeguarding Charter. It is a clear, shared commitment to protecting the wellbeing, dignity and safety of the people we support in home care across the West Midlands, and to supporting one another as a team.
Key takeaway: safeguarding is not a policy on a shelf. It is daily practice that protects people’s rights, choices and safety at home.
