Safeguarding at Cygnet is underpinned by our belief that:
- Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility: for services to be effective each person should play their part; and
- We take a person-centred approach: to be effective it should be based on a clear understanding of the needs and views of children, young people and adults at risk of harm.

Safeguarding Training: A New Approach
At Cygnet we believe that our Safeguarding Leads should be trained in a way that facilitates learning from each other as well as from our Central Safeguarding Team. This means that our training offer brings colleagues from across the UK, different services, service lines and divisions; ensuring a multi-professional, multi-service and cross sector approach to training at an advanced level.
Our Central Safeguarding Team
In addition to the service level safeguarding leads, as outlined in the Safeguarding structure document above, Cygnet also has a dedicated Central Safeguarding Team. To find out more about the team please click on the document below.
