To have safer cultures, we need to prioritise wellbeing, and create a culture where people can speak out, be listened to and respected.

We will also look at Making Safeguarding Personal and share our resources, including our leaflet and webinars.
On Wednesday we will share resources about how to create safe spaces online and tips for digital safeguarding.
As part of this digital safeguarding we will also be sharing information about financial abuse and scams, which have evolved in an online space and share resources on how to tackle this.
Many of the types of harm listed in The Care Act, including modern slavery, physical, sexual and financial abuse, can happen as a result of grooming. We will be sharing how to spot the signs of these types of harm, as well as the different forms of grooming.
Friday's focus aims to promote reflection and learning in safeguarding practice. We will be sharing our own resources as well as the recently published Local Account from Adult Social Care, sharing their success and challenges from the past year.
Over the weekend we will share resources to help organisations understand what safeguarding is and a safeguarding checklist to help assess whether individual or organisational polices, procedures and practices are effective in safeguarding adults and young people.
