What’s Safeguarding?

We want to make it as easy as possible for customers to let us know if they have reason to be concerned, whether that be in relation to their own welfare or that of someone else be it an adult or a child.

Where there are concerns for an individual or family for example, this could constitute a safeguarding issue and we work closely with other agencies to ensure that actions are taken to safeguard those concerned.

If you are concerned that a child or young person or vulnerable adult is in an emergency situation you should contact the police urgently on 999.

We take potential safeguarding incidents very seriously and will work with you and other agencies to ensure that the incident is investigated quickly and effectively.

Please complete the form below to report any potential safeguarding incidents. We will respond within 2 working days which will include an update on the issues if this is considered appropriate.

You can also report a concern (e.g. about a customer, a neighbour, a member of the general public or a SLH colleague) to SLH via https://www.southlakeshousing.co.uk/im-concerned-about-someone-else/.
