Safeguarding

Neglect


Everyone deserves care, support and protection from danger, but sometimes things go wrong. Neglect is the failure to meet a child or vulnerable adult’s basic needs, and it’s a serious problem. Neglect often goes unnoticed but is actually very common. Vulnerable people can also neglect themselves and make decisions that aren’t in their best interests. It’s really important to recognise the risks and warning signs of neglect and help to protect people from harm.

Learning outcomes:
  • Explain the different types of neglect
  • Identify the risk factors and impacts of neglect
  • Recognise some key warning signs of neglect
