Adult Safeguarding Week 2025 | Everyone Has a Role to Play

This week is Adult Safeguarding Week—a timely reminder that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.

Safeguarding isn’t just about responding to abuse or neglect. It’s about creating a culture where people feel safe, valued, and heard.

Whether you’re a friend, neighbour, colleague, carer, or professional, you can make a difference.

Look out for the signs
These may include changes in behaviour, unexplained injuries, financial concerns, or someone becoming unusually withdrawn or isolated.

Start the conversation
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it. A gentle check-in could be the first step to someone getting the support they need.

Know where to turn
If you’re worried about an adult’s safety or wellbeing, contact Peterborough United on:- safeguarding@theposh.com

If it’s an emergency, call 999.

This week—and every week—let’s work together to protect the rights, dignity, and safety of adults in our community.
