Safeguarding children and young people
The Trust has a clear responsibility, in accordance with legislation and statutory guidance, to safeguard children and young people. We have developed a local 'Safeguarding Children and Young People' policy, setting out a clear and effective means to take that responsibility forward and all hospital staff complete Level 1 basic safeguarding training, with some key staff in specialist area (e.g. Paediatrics, Maternity Services and Accident and Emergency) receiving more detailed training.
