Resident Doctors are on strike from 7 - 13 April. Please continue to attend appointments at the hospital unless you are contacted directly to rearrange. Our hospitals will be busy, but we are still here to provide emergency care when you need it.

Safeguarding

We work closely with the Leeds Teaching Hospitals safeguarding team to ensure all children, young people and adults at risk of harm, abuse or neglect are safeguarded.

What is safeguarding?

Safeguarding is the action that is taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm.

Safeguarding means:

  • Protecting children from abuse
  • Preventing harm to children’s health or development
  • Ensuring children grow up safely and well cared for.

We receive regular training and supervision in safeguarding and have a team of champions in the dental hospital who can be called on for advice and support. We work collaboratively with our patients and their families to ensure they feel supported and the best outcome is achieved.

What happens when we have safeguarding concerns about your child?
