Safeguarding children
Have you considered your patient’s wider family situation and whether they care for anyone under the age of 18?
If your patient is end-of-life and they care for someone under 18, please contact the UHB Safeguarding Team. This is to ensure that any required support can be given.
Please obtain all details of the children who are being cared for and the details of the adult who is caring for them, and contact the team.

Safeguarding adults
Adults (aged 18 and over) who have care and support needs are among the most vulnerable members of society. Protecting them from becoming the victims of abuse and protecting their health and well-being is everyone’s responsibility.
If you have safeguarding concerns about your patient, please contact the UHB Safeguarding Adults Team for professional advice and support provided by clinical nurse specialists.
