'Safeguarding isn't just about responding when something goes wrong. It's about what we do before harm happens, the culture we create, the courage we show, and the conversations we're willing to have when something doesn’t feel right.' As we mark #SafeguardingAdultsWeek 2025, the theme of Prevention: Act Before Abuse reminds us that safeguarding starts long before a crisis. It begins with awareness, empathy, and a shared responsibility to speak up early, not after the damage is done. Olatomide, from our EDIB team, reflects on how prevention also means building inclusive and resilient cultures, where people feel safe to raise concerns, challenge behaviour, and have the brave conversations that protect dignity and belonging.

The importance of recognizing #LynchSyndrome cannot be overstated, as it plays a crucial role in the early detection and prevention strategies for hereditary colorectal cancer. The autosomal dominant inheritance pattern emphasizes the necessity for family history screening in clinical practice.

🟠🟡🔴🟢🔵#LetsGoDotty 🟣🔵🟢🔴🟡 Despite #LynchSyndrome being one of the most common hereditary cancer conditions, 95% of carriers remain undiagnosed and missing out on #RiskReduction & #EarlyDetection of cancers! The National Lynch syndrome project nursing team, alongside the rest of the clinical leads, cancer & GMSA alliances, GU, Lynch champions, patients’ charities, GU, and many others around the country have been working very hard to change that. Let's change that together by raising awareness! Join @LynchSyndromeUK in spreading the word today in the #LynchSyndromeAwarenessDay 🟠🟡🔴🟢🔵#TeamLynch 🟣🔵🟢🔴🟡 @gremlin2c @East_Genomics @NEYGenomics @NWGLH @DeborahLakeland @PhilandraC @EHTGtweets @RMPartnersNHS @CancerNel @DrTracieNFGON @neilRyan @KellyElizaLloyd @neilajryan @CSOSue @nclcancer @CCAlliance @CR_UK @theAGNC @UKONSmember @UKCGG @BritSocGenMed @eshgsociety @GeneticAll_UK
