Children and Adults at Risk Safeguarding Policy

The practice is committed to complying with legislation and statutory guidance to protect children and adults at
risk of abuse or neglect. The practice has an effective process for identifying and responding appropriately to
signs and allegations of abuse. There is also an effective process for preventing abuse before it occurs and
minimising the risks of further abuse once it has occurred.

Kelly Harnett is the Practice Safeguarding Lead for children and adults.

A child is defined as a person under the age of 18. An ‘Adult at Risk’ is any adult who has needs for care and
support by reason of mental or other disability, age or illness; (whether or not the L.A. is meeting any of
those needs); is experiencing, or at risk of abuse or neglect; and as a result of those care and support needs
is unable to protect themselves from either the risk of, or the experience of abuse or neglect. The Care Act
2014 introduced the term ‘Adult at Risk’ replacing the phrase ‘vulnerable adult’, however the two are used
interchangeably within this policy and supporting documents.

All team members are trained to recognise signs of abuse in children and adults at risk. Training to take
appropriate action including recording and reporting is provided at induction and at regular intervals.

Any suspicions and allegations of abuse are taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately.

All team members are required to undergo appropriate DBS/PVG/Access NI checks. The practice does not employ
anyone who has been barred from working with and treating children or adults at risk.

Good practice guidelines
A chaperone is always present when treating a child or vulnerable adult.
Gratuitous physical contact is never made with a patient. If a patient needs comforting, team members use
discretion to ensure that any physical contact is appropriate.

Any concerns are referred to Lauren Andrews or one of our safeguarding officers: Daisy Bambrick, Kelly Harnett
or Tiffany Redding.

What Our Patients Say About Us


  • I am so happy to have discovered this dental practice, as having ongoing dental issues, it was the first thing I organised when I moved to Newton Abbot. Joanna is an amazing dentist who puts you at ease, explains everything clearly before and during the treatment and you leave smiling. She knows her stuff and I have full faith in her for my future treatment. My appointment with Fran was also excellent. She was thorough, friendly and gave me good aftercare advice.

The staff are highly skilled, attentive, and take the time to explain every step of the treatment, making you feel at ease. The clinic is modern, spotless, and equipped with the latest technology, ensuring a comfortable and pain-free experience. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend El Nashar Dental Care to anyone looking for top-notch dental care. They genuinely care about their patients and go above and beyond to provide outstanding service!

  • I have nothing but praise for the El Nashar Dental practice. The whole team are very professional and friendly. Jo has done a fair amount of work over the years for me, and everything has been to an excellent standard. She takes a long term approach to my dental needs and I have full confidence in her work. As an anxious patient, Jo and her assistant, Mary are both also really caring and empathetic which is really important to me as I find any dental procedures quite stressful! Thank you.
