Safeguarding toolkit for dental teams
The dental team has a statutory duty of care to all patients which includes ensuring that safeguarding arrangements are in place. Public Health England has published Safeguarding in general dental practice: toolkit for dental teams which provides an overview of safeguarding as a whole for the dental team by:
- clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the dental team in promoting the safety and wellbeing of children, young people and adults at risk of abuse
- signposting useful safeguarding resources, including access to free training opportunities
- outlining the pathways to be followed in cases of concern
- providing guidance on training requirements
