Safeguarding of Adults who may be at risk.

The National Minimum Care Standards came into force on 1st April 2002 and specifically cover safeguarding for adults & children. They place a duty on owners of any type of care establishment to ensure that the people they care for are treated with dignity and respect and are free from discrimination or bullying of any form.
