Safeguarding Our Clients

Outright Care

Here to Keep You Safe, Supported, and Thriving

At Outright Care, the safety and well-being of our clients are at the core of everything we do. We are committed to protecting those in our care—especially vulnerable individuals—from any form of abuse, neglect, or harm. Our safeguarding policies and procedures are overseen by our Registered Manager, Mrs. Ruby Mortey, to ensure the highest standards of protection are consistently upheld.

Key Elements of Our Safeguarding Strategy Include:
  • Leadership in Safeguarding

    Mrs. Ruby Mortey leads our safeguarding efforts, ensuring that protective practices are embedded across all areas of our service. She is dedicated to shielding clients from physical, emotional, and financial harm, promoting a culture of safety and accountability throughout the organisation.

  • Comprehensive Safeguarding Policies

    Our robust safeguarding policies are designed to prevent harm and ensure a safe environment for all clients. These policies are regularly reviewed and updated to meet or exceed regulatory requirements.

  • Targeted Training and Awareness

    All staff undergo mandatory safeguarding training as part of their orientation. They also receive continuous education to stay informed about the latest best practices in recognising and responding to signs of abuse and neglect.

  • Client-Centred Care Planning

    We emphasise a client-centred approach in all care planning. This approach respects and amplifies the voices of our clients and their families, enhancing both autonomy and safety.

  • Whistleblower Protection

    We maintain strong whistleblower protection policies to encourage staff to report any concerns without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously and addressed promptly.

  • Collaboration with Authorities

    We actively collaborate with local authorities, healthcare providers, and regulatory bodies to ensure compliance with legal obligations and stay updated on safeguarding best practices.

  • Feedback and Continuous Improvement

    Feedback from clients and their families is crucial for ongoing improvement. We regularly solicit this feedback to enhance our safeguarding measures.

  • Incident Response System

    Our incident response system is equipped to handle safeguarding reports swiftly and effectively. This ensures comprehensive investigations and appropriate interventions.

  • Complaints Involving the Registered Manager

    If your complaint involves the Registered Manager or if you are not satisfied with the response received, please escalate your complaint to Mrs. Dorcas Adjoa Sekyiwaa Osei-Akoto, our Nominated Individual.
