Welcome to the latest bulletin for people working with adults who have care and support needs in Leeds.
It is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of safeguarding with people who use your services, staff teams and volunteers.
You could showcase the work you do to support people to be safe from abuse and neglect, hold a safeguarding themed staff meeting, put up an information stand, or put our public awareness films on your website and social media. It's entirely up to you.
Again, we are teaming up with other Safeguarding Boards in West Yorkshire to put on a programme of information sessions and discussions. We'll be promoting them in future bulletins.

There are thousands of hand car washes across the UK. While many are legitimate businesses, reports suggest that many more are run by people determined to exploit their workers to make as much money as possible. In these instances, workers may be victims of modern slavery.
By using the Safe Car Wash App, you can identify cases of exploitation and help end modern slavery at hand car washes.
This guidance from Department of Health & Social care is to help practitioners and managers across health and care organisations to provide caring and quick responses to people at risk of developing pressure ulcers.
The guidance offers a process for the clinical management of harm removal and reduction where ulcers occur, considering if an adult safeguarding response is necessary.
