Safeguarding Duties
5.1. As defined in the Care Act 2014, safeguarding duties will apply to an adult (someone
over the age of 18) who:
Has needs for care and support (whether or not the Local Authority is meeting
any of those needs).
3
Is experiencing, or at risk of, abuse or neglect.
Because of those care and support needs is unable to protect themselves from
either the risk, or experience, of abuse or neglect.
5.2. We will apply the Department of Health’s six key safeguarding principles when
working with adults and children at risk of abuse:
Empowerment;
Protection;
Prevention;
Proportionality;
Partnership;
Accountability.
5.3. A child is a person under 18. All children are considered to be in need of protection.
This policy does includes our obligation to safeguard those children who are few
with our predominantly single women housing stock.
5.4. The respective Local Authority from our list of partners has the co-ordinating role
and legal responsibility to work with WPH once a case is referred or highlighted to
them.
5.5. WPH staff, its partners and contractors are a vital component of local multi-agency
safeguarding partnerships. WPH should promote partnership working with Social
care staff. WPH will work with each Local Authority to get a clear understanding of
the parameters of adult and children safeguarding for effective working between
sectors.
5.6. WPH staff have a key safeguarding role to play, alongside their colleagues in social
care, health, the police and any other relevant agency in keeping people safe. They
are well placed by access to its homes to identify people with care and support
needs, at risk of abuse, able to share information and work in partnership to
coordinate responses and resolve cases.
Safeguarding in Housing 6.1. There are often complex networks that can cause difficulties in identifying and reporting safeguarding concerns. 6.2. Staff, partners and contractors are empowered to be professionally curious when serving our residents in their homes and in the office. Safeguarding must be a priority. 6.3. The local authority may be reluctant to get involved where there are concerns about an individual

6.2. Staff, partners and contractors are empowered to be professionally curious when
serving our residents in their homes and in the office. Safeguarding must be a
priority.
6.3. The local authority may be reluctant to get involved where there are concerns about
an individual who is not eligible for social care support. If that should be the case,
staff must seek the appropriate agency to address any safeguarding concerns
including reports to the police.

6.4. WPH staff have local knowledge of anti-social behaviour, which may be a trigger to
an individual/s developing care and support needs due to age, disability or illness
and are not known to Social Care.
6.5. Information sharing is essential. WPH staff will be advised via procedures when it is
appropriate to share information.
Vulnerable Residents 7.1. People with care and support needs are not all vulnerable to abuse. WPH maintain a list of vulnerable tenants.

Children not allowed to attend school Children who are neglected Children not engaged to what is happening in the home such as a visitor 7.2. People may be at greater risk because they are: Socially isolated which may provide an opportunity for exploitation Unsure of who to trust Dependent on others to manage their finances or to withdraw or collect money for them Unable to escape abuse or they tolerate it due to their reliance on the abuser, adapted accommodation or the lack of suitable alternative accommodation and care provision.

So I just spend time #writing my posts as it’s #relevant to my #Facebookemories.

Whilst LinkedIn refuse me access in breach of the GDPR. Since it was #Facebookmemories I am updating, let me share with the world the it was Facebook that gave LEYF Nurseries #LEYF access to my account on the 18/9/2015. Print out was used on the 22/9/2015 to try get me to #writeonspot resignation.
This was after meeting Professors #ChrisPascal and #TonyBertram at Middlesex University Library on the 19/9/2015. What have come out of another #suspension after I take a stance against BULLIES is why I am writing my #horoscope from the #DailyExpress Russell Grant. U contributed to the Mental Health CRUSADE. I submitted evidence to The Guardian a year ago about the Modern Slavery thriving in the UK.
So let CYBERBULLYING TERRORISTS be #warned about the implications. As it started at King’s College Hospital when UNISON and Ofsted were involved in cover up of issues around safeguarding.

Let me share with the wirld why https://www.facebook.com & https://www.google.com & https://www.linkedin.com become CYBERBULLYING TERROR CELLS for www.leyf.org.uk. Please go back to view http://www.myvision.org.uk as an INFLUENCER on Social Media. Then you will see how the love of www.moneyclaim.gov.uk is the root of all evil. If I wasn’t a strong black woman who was brought up with the Christian teachings of my parents and my father who I lost to www.parkinsons.org.uk at a tender age. The impact was I was traumastised from puberty. But at no time did I see giving up as an option. The story of mum’s www.dementia.org.uk was played out in public. Even when she was surrounded by her family during her transition from this life. But to have www.leyf.org.uk treat me with such cruelty after I came back from her burial is just so hard to understand.

#naturalhair is combed and ready to be style for #JoyceLegister funeral on Friday, God’s willing? Caring for my hair is a job in itself, but I can take my time. Despite telling #DilysEpton work keep me going, LEYF Nurseries make sure I have not earn from 27th September 2015. They take away my dignity, leaving me to rely on benefits… Now the #EmploymentTribunals affirm the Discrimination and take away my Basic Human Rights. But not only that label me a MAD CRIMINAL.
Then #WinsomeDuncan think she was given the sanctions to discriminate against me making malicious terrorist threats and getting wicked Police involved. I am waiting.
When I tried to start a Petition, some Jobsworth rejected my Petition about breach of confidentiality. Who is responsible for the Modern SLAVERY practices in the Early Years Sector? Employees will be #VOICELESS_VULNERABLE as long as there are #LegalEntity that allow people to discriminate against vulnerable employees. Read at https://www.gov.uk/…/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years… to find out what I’m talking about.

I hear them talking about changes in workplaces re sex allegations. But what about working with UNISON and #VOICETHEUNION ensuring employees are protected by the Employment legislation?
Look closely and you see my MOTHER hiding her half thumb. She was very conscious of it. I learned so much about her from counselling at the Maudsley Hospital. That’s why https://www.gov.uk/…/ms-m-myers-v-london-early-years… will not get away with making me out to be a MAD CRIMINAL.

Why would the #EmploymentTribunals think I am going to sit back and allow them to get away with colluding with LEYF Nurseries to discriminate against me? Now #WinsomeDuncan believe she has been given sanctions to make malicious threats and get the Police and Ambulance services involved to take away my right and MURDER me on the pretext I’m a danger to myself and the public. Now the establishment and systems will have to be accountable. Effectively what they are doing is driving a rift against me and my husband.
Now I go twist up the Front of my Lax & put in sum dat mi never was born wid. Gosh it’s dat TIME already? My wedding was the 3rd I attended. 1st was my breda BYRON in Town. 2nd was Clinton Legister & Penolyn Campbell. Gosh we coming from far! I remember when Mass Mike bring him BAC gal come to Henglad & I cut off myself & send the rest wid him to give her at 17 Denchworth House Robsart Street Stockwell London SW9 OBN. Lawd I can look back pon fi I life & Reflect indeed! Mi gone now, like U know when U did lock up & get let out.
Another day, and there are reports in the Daily Express about the corruption in the Metropolitan Police Service. I am still waiting to hear from them about the letter I write after they refused to act when I report verbal threats. But turns up at my house hours later to take me away from my vulnerable husband. On the malicious report from my #Coach_WinsomeDuncan. Then the visit again on Thursday 16th November by 2 Officers, who don’t seem to have a clue. Have they been trained about the Counter Terrorism & Security Act 2015?
Then the #Hypocrites turn a blind eye and want to use reverse psychology on me. Do they think I am an idiot? So the Police and Ambulance services turn up to take me away from my vulnerable husband because of the malicious report from #WinsomeDuncan. Di…
Taurus: Be willing to try something new this week. A change of plan needn’t be disastrous as long as you’re prepared to go with the flow. Friday’s rendezvous will quicken your pulse. Call to hear about the promising changes ahead.
About time for those promising changes. I have been waiting since I was forced to resign from LEYF Nurseries to save my life!
My old folks used to tell me that Thieves & Liars walk hand in hand. But when U can recover what the Thief has stolen, U might not be lucky to escape from the LIES of the Liar & their are dire #Consequences. I have been at the end of my tether since July 2014 when I transferred from Luton Street to BIB. However the rot started at #Fitzrovia from 2009. Luckily I kept my #DefensivePractice updated!
All what U are seeing here is nothing more than #Tokenism. I went to LEYF Nurseries with a #FoundationDegree from the The Open University & left with #6linesReference labelling me a #CRIMINAL & really they think they going to get away with it? As for those colluding with LEYF Nurseries, I will be taking them on 1 by 1. I won’t do what I did at King’s College Hospital, when UNISON done to me exactly the same as Voice: the union for education professionals & now others are joining the fray!
Inspired Thinking ” Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat” F Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940)
Well here is my inspiration to go on with my #FIGHT4JUSTICE campaign against the #ModernDaySLAVEDrivers LEYF Nurseries are representative of. They know they have the #Establishment & the #CorruptedSYSTEMS to back them, so they don’t give a toss about the #VulnerableEmployees that work out their #SoulCases to make them become #Beacons & turn around destroying lives.
Well I refuse to sit idle by & let any #Persons, #Company, #Groups or #Entity get away with the #Discrimination that affected my #MentalHealth from after I got back from burying my #MOTHER in July 2014.
I celebrated my #LegisterGrandson getting a scholarship to Munro College & whilst I am in my struggles my #MurrayGrandson got a scholarship to Mannings High.
Now why should I allow LEYF Nurseries to demonise & make me out to be someone or something that I am/was not – a #CRIMINAL?
Now I go twist up the Front of my Lax & put in sum dat mi never was born wid. Gosh it’s dat TIME already? My wedding was the 3rd I attended. 1st was my breda BYRON in Town. 2nd was Clinton Legister & Penolyn Campbell. Gosh we coming from far!

So he is putting back some weight and looking better! Well my breda Balis was always as Thin as a Rake, like our Papa. But maybe Ms Connie could see supn else that was hidden from others? Ms Connie knew my breda from he was conceived, so is the only 1 left who knows him even more than how he knows himself? When next I talk to my breda, I am hoping to hear sum exciting news… Even thou Balis plays the Games, he can take himself away from it long enough to talk to his 1 Sister if nutn else!
