'Safeguarding isn't just about responding when something goes wrong. It's about what we do before harm happens, the culture we create, the courage we show, and the conversations we're willing to have when something doesn’t feel right.'

As we mark #SafeguardingAdultsWeek 2025, the theme of Prevention: Act Before Abuse reminds us that safeguarding starts long before a crisis.

It begins with awareness, empathy, and a shared responsibility to speak up early, not after the damage is done.

Olatomide, from our EDIB team, reflects on how prevention also means building inclusive and resilient cultures, where people feel safe to raise concerns, challenge behaviour, and have the brave conversations that protect dignity and belonging.

Lovely and important new documentary from @alzheimerssoc and @Channel4 showing the realities of dementia. Watch ‘Anna Richardson: #LoveLossAndDementia’ on ch4, tomorrow night, 10pm

[Anna Richardson 🏳️‍🌈 @AnnaRichardso]

For over a year, l've been working on something really personal. My Dad has dementia and we’re losing him. Please watch Anna Richardson:
Love, Loss and Dementia @Channel4 on Oct 2 10pm.
Dementia is the UK's biggest killer, and yet no one’s talking about it. Let’s change that.
