Help us to safeguard our communities from abuse and neglect

Help us to safeguard our communities from abuse and neglect

SafeguardingThe Chairs of the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Safeguarding Board are asking everyone within the region to look out for one another in order to help those who may be at risk of abuse and neglect. This is a message which applies at all times, but now more than ever, people at all ages need protection.

“We are currently experiencing unprecedented times as a result of Coronavirus, with social distancing and self-isolation being one of the key messages and advice being provided by Government.

“Whilst this will undoubtedly help with the prevention of the spread of the virus, unfortunately, this will also mean that children, young people and adults at risk within RCT, Merthyr Tydfil and Bridgend may potentially be at an increased risk of abuse and neglect. “Please be vigilant and look out for friends, families and neighbours and if you see any signs at all that makes you think that they may be experiencing any type of harm, report your concerns to your local safeguarding teams”.
