How can SLH help ?
We will aim to treat your report in the strictest of confidence, but we cannot guarantee confidentiality. If you raise concerns with us regarding an adult, child or young person, it is likely we will need to share the details with other agencies in order for them to investigate further.Â
If you raise concerns regarding your own well-being, we will discuss this with you and work with you to empower you to safeguard yourself. We will discuss with you whether you would like a safeguarding concern to be raised with the Local Authority. There may however be occasions when we have to raise a safeguarding concern without your consent, as you or other residents may be at risk of harm or a crime has been committed.
We will aim to offer support or signpost you to other agencies to help you cope with the effects of abuse or neglect.
