Level 2 Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk
Safeguarding is the responsibility of every member of the dental team. Each person has a part to play in recognising and responding to the signs of harm and abuse in patients.
The CQC’s role is to monitor, inspect and regulate services to make sure they meet the fundamental standards of quality and safety. Their role is to check that dental practices provide care that is safe, meaning that patients are protected from abuse and avoidable harm. A key part of this is ensuring that practices have effective systems and processes in place to recognise potential or actual abuse, that they know how to respond and refer appropriately, and they know what they should record in order to help keep children and adults at risk safe. CQC inspectors routinely ask about practices’ safeguarding measures at all inspections.
