AbstractUntil recently, adult safeguarding policies at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust did not cover domestic abuse, except in maternity services. While trying to remedy this deficit, the trust discovered several problems in information sharing and data protection, which led to consideration of how safeguarding alerts are handled and processed on patient arrival. This article explains how the trust solved these problems by setting up a safeguarding log to alert staff to at-risk patients.
