Safeguarding information for GPs and primary care staff

If you work in Primary Care or are a GP this is where you will find all relevant safeguarding information. This information is only relevant to Primary Care staff and GPs in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

The Integrated Care Board (ICB) Safeguarding team

The Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board Safeguarding Team provides support and training for primary care colleagues. They arrange regular meetings with link GPs, provide training updates, host Q&A drop-in sessions and participate in a variety of policy groups and committees.

The team are happy to advise on safeguarding matters to clinicians. Please remember that they cannot offer urgent advice but are happy to talk through complex issues.

Any advice the Safeguarding Team gives is provided to assist you in your decision-making. You may still wish to liaise with your indemnifying organisation or seek further advice from your data protection officer.

Please email bnssg.safeguardingadmin@nhs.net to get in touch with the Safeguarding Team.
