Overview
Arun District Council is committed to ensuring the safeguarding of children and adults to prevent harm and abuse regardless of age, gender, religion or ethnicity.
Children don’t always have the means to access help, or recognise that they may be exploited. An adult may not be able to protect themselves from abuse or be aware that they may be taken advantage of, particularly if the cause of the risk may be a friend or family member, or they may have a fear of services becoming involved.
Here at Arun, our approach is that safeguarding is the responsibility of us all, for some departments safeguarding is something that regularly arises in operational duties, but for others it may be less common.
