Safeguarding Safeguarding is about making people aware of their rights, protecting them and preventing abuse. Abuse is when someone does or says something to you that makes you upset or frightened. Abuse happens in lots of different ways.

It could be when: • Someone hits, kicks or burns you. • Someone touches your body and does things to you that you do not like or that you don’t want them to do. • Someone takes your money or doesn’t let you have a say in how you spend your money. • People threaten or bully you or when they don’t listen to you or believe what you say. • People say bad things to you, or treat you unfairly because you are different from them. If this happens and you want to talk about it to someone you can tell people in adult education.
