Safeguarding

We want our residents and their families to live a life where they’re free from all forms of abuse. We’re committed to safeguarding the wellbeing of adult residents and children living in our homes.

As a responsible landlord, we have a duty to report all instances of abuse or suspected abuse.

We work in partnership with local authorities, child care agencies and adult social care teams. We’ve a policy and procedure in place for referring children, young people and adults at risk .

If you’re concerned about something you’ve seen or heard relating to an Optivo resident, please contact us to report it.

Anyone raising a concern that a child or adult is being abused or neglected will be taken seriously and we will act promptly and appropriately.
