Protecting Children and Vulnerable Adults

The safety and welfare of children and vulnerable adults is of paramount importance to Principia Rushcliffe Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).  We work closely with other CCGs across Nottinghamshire to ensure that all of the services we commission ensure high quality safe effective care.  
 
The following measures ensure that safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults is given priority and is discharged effectively across the whole local health economy through commissioning arrangements: -
 
  • Executive level CCG membership of both Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Children and Adult Boards which ensures that safeguarding is at the forefront of service planning.
  • Senior CCG membership of Nottinghamshire Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA)
  • Close collaboration with the Local Authority to assess and ensure the provision of co-ordinated integrated services to meet the needs of the local population, including specialist services for vulnerable groups. 
  • Ensuring that safeguarding children and adult strategies and associated policies are in place, including safe recruitment of staff, a whistle-blowing policy and safeguarding training and supervision policies.
  • Ensuring that providers of services are held to account through regular review of safeguarding arrangements through quality scrutiny processes.
  • Designated nurse and doctors in post to offer professional expertise and advice around safeguarding matters.
