Safeguarding during the COVID-19 Lockdown

Video from Berkshire West Clinical Commissioning Group regarding safeguarding during the lockdown.

As COVID-19 has required people to stay at home, it has set an environment where domestic abuse, child abuse and neglect of children and vulnerable adults is likely to increase. At the same time, organisations who are usually able to identify victims are not able to due to social distancing. 

This message from Berkshire West Clinical Commissioning Groups seeks to highlight that help and support is available for victims and reminds neighbourhoods to be vigilant.
