Join us to celebrate every voice and every choice this Safeguarding Adults Week

Next week is Safeguarding Adults Week, 16–22 November 2026. We are putting prevention, listening and choice at the heart of our planned activities.

Our focus is on protecting residents and staff by putting safeguarding into practice through education, training and partnership — listening to concerns, building confidence to ask questions and turning learning into action.

Across our care homes in Haywards Heath, Crowborough and Battle we have a variety of themes we're celebrating throughout the week which include:

  • Monday: Listening-focused staff briefings and “My Voice Matters” resident activities.

  • Tuesday: Staff learning on positive risk-taking, choice and control, alongside “My Choices Board” activities.

  • Wednesday: Residents and staff shaping a safer home together through shared discussions and a safeguarding pledge.

  • Thursday: Safeguarding detective exercises and case studies to help staff explore hidden risks.

  • Friday: Celebrating good practice, sharing lessons and recognising contributions.

  • Saturday: Inviting local safeguarding partners and community organisations to connect at a community safety information event.

  • Sunday: Wellbeing activities and a reflection wall to capture learning and commitments.

Here's a taster of the jam packed activities happening across our care homes:
