Safeguarding at The Weir Link

The Weir Link is committed to providing safe, high-quality, professional standards to all those who use our services and to people who support us in any way. We recognise the importance of safeguarding.

The Weir Link believes that a child, young person or vulnerable adult should never experience abuse of any kind.
