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 had a really positive visit at El-Nashar this week. Fran is the hygienist that I see every 6 months. Fran is the most gentle and caring hygienist that I have ever experienced. It is a pleasure to visit her, she gives tips on how to keep the staining process away. Andrew is a caring dentist and he gives preventive advice to keep decay at bay. The whole team are excellent, from the receptionists to all the dental nurse's. Thank you very much for you excellent service., above and beyond.

  • I’ve always hated going to the dentist. I confess I still don’t love it but I am delighted with the care I’ve received, particularly from dentist Joanna who I’ve now seen on a number of occasions. She has made me feel relaxed and reassured that I am receiving high quality care but with no push for me to have unnecessary expensive treatments. I’ve been so reassured by the essential care that I chose to have some minor cosmetic dentistry and I’m delighted with the results. The whole team from reception staff, nurses, hygienist and dentists are professional and friendly, and I recommend the practice unreservedly.

  • After a bad experience with a previous dentist, it had been several years since I’d seen a dentist myself, and my 13-year-old son hadn’t been either. My mum has been a patient at El-Nashar for years and has always spoken so highly of the practice, so I finally found the courage to book an appointment. I’m so glad I did. Rajesh Kumar was the dentist I saw, and I honestly can’t praise him enough. From the moment I met him, he was kind, patient, and incredibly gentle. He took the time to put me at ease, explained everything clearly, and made what I’d been dreading for years a genuinely positive experience. After my appointment, I immediately booked my son in. He was naturally anxious too, but Rajesh’s calm, reassuring manner put him at ease almost instantly. It made such a difference seeing my son leave feeling relaxed and confident. A huge thank you to Rajesh and the team at El-Nashar for making us both feel so comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this practice to anyone, especially if you’ve had a bad dental experience or suffer from dental anxiety.
