Safeguarding

Safeguarding Adults and Children is everyone’s business and responsibility.

Health services along with many other public services have a duty to act upon concerns and seek support. Those concerns don’t need to be evidenced to have a discussion with an experienced safeguarding colleague and could prevent further harm occurring. This includes concerns about extremism and referrals to PREVENT.
 
To discuss a concern with a Humber Safeguarding Practitioner for either adults or children please contact the central administration team at HNF-TR.SafeguardingHumber@nhs.net , they will ensure your query is dealt with.
 
The Humber Safeguarding Team operates Monday to Friday 9.00am - 5.00pm.
 
If your concern is urgent or you wish to make a formal referral to the Local Authority you should follow the appropriate Humber safeguarding procedure and contact either:

East Riding Local Authority – Children 01482 395500 and Adult 01482 396940
Hull Local Authority – Children 01482 448879 and Adult 01482 616092
North Yorkshire Local Authority - Children & Adults 01609 534527
 
If you believe a person is in danger, call the police on 999.
 
The adult safeguarding team can also provide advice on Mental Capacity Act and Deprivation of Liberty issues.
