Safeguarding at Psychiatry UK
Our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of everyone who uses our services.
At Psychiatry UK the safety and wellbeing of our clients is very important to us and we have measures in place to help you if you are experiencing harm or abuse. This may be physical or sexual abuse, bullying and emotional harm, neglect or financial exploitation, amongst other types of harm.
Issues such as these can have a serious impact on mental health. As part of your assessment and treatment with Psychiatry UK you will have every opportunity to discuss any concerns you have.
If we are aware of a concern that a vulnerable adult, child or young person has been harmed or is at risk of harm, we will support you by linking with safeguarding services in your area to ensure that you, and those you care about, can live free from harm or abuse.
