The Teeswide Safeguarding Adults Board (TSAB) is responsible for protecting and promoting an adult’s right to live an independent life, in safety, free from abuse and neglect in Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland and Stockton-On-Tees.
@tsab75.bsky.social@tsab75.bsky.socialWhen safeguarding concerns arise, remember to Think Family.
Consider whether there may be risks to others, including children or other adults with care and support needs.
If you believe a child may be at risk of harm, contact your local authority Children's Services - www.teescpp.org.uk
@tsab75.bsky.socialYou could be:
✔ The person who notices a change
✔ The person who listens
✔ The person who asks the right questions
✔ The person who speaks up
✔ The person who makes a difference
