This year, Safeguarding Adults Week runs from Monday 20^th – Friday 24^th November 2023.

At One vision Housing we believe in providing more than just homes, we recognise the importance of safeguarding and work hard to ensure every customer has the right to live safely, free from abuse and neglect.

We are joining the nationwide campaign to raise awareness of important safeguarding issues. The campaign, hosted by Ann Craft Trust, aims to shine a light on key safeguarding issues, and spark conversations on the topic. Catch up with our Independent Living Team who have provided us with detailed advice on adult safeguarding through a series of videos:

What is safeguarding? – Avril, Independent Living Team Leader

What is hoarding – Aidan, Independent Living Officer

Self-neglect and mental health – Carley, Aids and Adaptions Officer

Online abuse and scams – Jennifer, Independent Living Officer

You can report abuse or suspected abuse to One Vision Housing via your Neighbourhood Services Officer or a member of our team by calling 0300 365 1111 or emailing enquiries@ovh.org.uk. You can also report abuse to a Health and Social care professional, or to the Police for any urgent concerns.
