Safeguarding at Olive Healthcare
Protecting the people we support is our first responsibility, always.
Our Commitment
Safeguarding Comes First
Olive Healthcare Services is committed to safeguarding every adult in our care from abuse, neglect, and harm. Safeguarding is embedded in our recruitment, training, supervision, and daily practice. All staff complete safeguarding training on induction and receive regular refreshers, and every member of our team knows how to recognise and report concerns without delay.
We operate in line with the Care Act 2014, our local safeguarding adults board procedures, and CQC's fundamental standards.
