West Yorkshire Safeguarding Week

Monday 24^th June marks the beginning of Safeguarding Week in West Yorkshire – a time for local communities to come together and explore how we can all do more to protect vulnerable people from harm.

Alongside our regional partners, we believe that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Spectrum will be kicking off the week by bringing our mobile unit (above) to the Wakefield Cathedral precinct from 9am to 1pm on 24th June, so please drop in to find out more about our services and have a friendly chat about any safeguarding questions. We’ll be joined by a range of local organisations including West Yorkshire Police, Wakefield Council, Young Lives and many more. Together we’ll be sharing information and advice on a range of safeguarding topics, including:

• Domestic abuse
• Crime prevention
• Safeguarding children
• Drug and alcohol support
• Sexual health
• Mental health
• Housing

In Wakefield, anyone with any safeguarding concerns about a child or a vulnerable adult should call 0345 8 503 503.
