About our survey

‘Making Safeguarding Personal’ in its simplest form means putting the person at the centre of a safeguarding enquiry. It is about engaging with people throughout the safeguarding process, and considering the outcomes they want.

Your voice could inform future provisions to help 'Safeguard Adults at Risk'. Kingston Council are keen to learn about your experience of the safeguarding service in Kingston and have asked Healthwatch Kingston to collect independent feedback. If you or a family member or friend, have used this service we are eager to hear your views. An anonymised report of our findings will be shared with local providers, commissioners and decision makers.

This work is supported by the London Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (London ADASS) and the Local Government Association (LGA).

Healthwatch Kingston is your health and social care champion in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. We are independent (not part of the NHS nor Kingston Council). You can find out more about us on the Healthwatch Kingston website.
