Safeguarding - Hampshire/Basingstoke

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is committed to the safeguarding children and supporting families who access their services.

Everything they do is underpinned by two key principles:

• Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility – for services to be effective each professional and organisation should play their full part
• A child centred approach – for services to be effective they should be based on a clear understanding of the needs and views of the individual children whilst recognising the support parents and carers may require.

All staff are aware of their responsibility in safeguarding children and are able to access safeguarding advice and support 24 hours a day.
