• Preventative – we will ensure we are aware of those we need to safeguard
• Proactive – we will understand the types and signs of abuse
• Responsive – we will know how to show empathy and professionalism in our responses in order to instil confidence
• Positive – we will recognise that good safeguarding knowledge allows us to continue with all the work we do and that we should not be afraid to talk about it
