Introduction
Safeguarding
Where a clinician identifies a new safeguarding concern or that a safeguarding concern exists, they should indicate ‘yes’ on the patients Cleo record when asked if they have a safeguarding concern about the patient.
At the end of every consultation the following two questions will be asked:
- Do you have any safeguarding concerns relating to the current consultation?
- Have you made a safeguarding referral for this patient?
Where either of these questions have been indicated as ‘yes’, the case will be reviewed by the safeguarding clinical team. All safeguarding concern cases will be reviewed by the end of the following week.
