Safeguarding

Every health organisation has named professionals who focus on safeguarding adults and children to help protect them from harm. Royal Devon takes safeguarding seriously and we strive to provide advice, supervision, education and support on all safeguarding issues.

We have special named nurses, doctors and midwives who work closely with other health professionals including clinicians, GPs, health visitors, mental health services, CAMHS and school nurses. The team also works with partner agencies such as the Police and Social Care, as well as other statutory and voluntary organisations.
