At Willen Hospice, we are committed to promoting the wellbeing and safety of all our patients and their family members, our customers, staff and volunteers.
Safeguarding means protecting a citizen’s health, well-being and human rights; enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect.
It is an integral part of providing high-quality health care. – NHS
In all walks of life, we encounter vulnerable people – children, the elderly, or those with additional care and support needs or disabilities – who might not be able to protect themselves.
We can all be part of making a difference by making sure they are not at risk.
Willen Hospice’s Safeguarding Strategy demonstrates an ongoing commitment for Safeguarding to be a priority in all we do.

If you are concerned that a vulnerable person or child is being abused or neglected, or at risk of it, then we encourage you to take action immediately.
