Safeguarding Statement

Our policy

At Stovell House Surgery, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our patients, especially children, young people, and adults at risk.

We believe that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and we work proactively to ensure a safe, supportive environment for all who use our services.

All staff members are trained to recognise and respond to signs of abuse or neglect and are expected to report any concerns immediately in line with our safeguarding policies. We work closely with local safeguarding boards, social services, and other relevant agencies to ensure the protection of vulnerable individuals.

If you have any concerns about your own safety or the safety of someone else, please speak to a member of the practice team.
