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’ve always had a great experience at El Nashar Dental Care. The reception team are always welcoming, helpful, and make everything run smoothly from the moment you arrive. Maddison, the dental assistant, is fantastic—friendly and efficient. Fran, the hygienist, is brilliant and a pleasure to deal with. I’ve been treated by both Lauren and Andrew, and they’re both excellent dentists—professional, reassuring, and always take the time to explain things clearly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the whole team!

  • Fantastic dentist, wonderful staff and knowledge. You are well looked after and the attention to detail and advice on offer is night and day from my old NHS dentist. I've always had a slight fear of the dentist, I hate any work on my teeth, but my Hygienist, Terri, makes it a pleasure. Ultra careful, efficient and great advice to help me look after my teeth. Great practice, highly recommend to anyone who's lost NHS service, or just wants a good private dentist who will look after you.

  • Everyone at this practice is very friendly and helpful. I am terrified of dentists but have been seeing Mark shortly after he started here. He is the best dentist I have ever had and the longest one I've stayed with. He treats me not just my teeth. The first dentist who has ever done that . Can't praise enough. Thank you Mark.
