We're aware of an issue with our customer portal:
Customers are currently unable to download rent statements. We're currently working on a fix. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Plus Dane takes the safety and wellbeing of our customers, colleagues and partners very seriously. We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all individuals who seek our housing and support services. As part of our dedication to safeguarding, we have implemented robust procedures to address and respond to any reports of welfare concerns promptly and effectively.
Safeguarding means protecting children, young people and adults from abuse, risk of abuse, exploitation, neglect, or self-neglect. Everyone has the right to live a life free from abuse.
Abuse or neglect can be defined in many ways and may fall under multiple abuse types. Examples include:
Grooming is a form of abuse that involves manipulating someone until they’re isolated, dependent, and more vulnerable to exploitation. Both adults and children can be vulnerable to grooming.
If you believe someone you know is being groomed or exploited, we have created a guide with signs to look out for, information and support. Have a look here.
We believe that anyone living in our homes and neighbourhoods has a right to live in safety, free from abuse. Our policy sets out our aims, how the policy links to our corporate plan, our objectives, our compliance and more.
This safeguarding statement specifically outlines our approach to how we deal with reports of concerns for the safety of individuals, and has been produced as a new addition to our full Safeguarding Policy. The full safeguarding policy and supporting procedures were reviewed in 2024. As part of that review, the new policy will reflect and include this new safeguarding statement.
Our commitment to safeguarding extends to all aspects of our services including our general needs properties, sheltered and supported housing properties and leasehold and shared ownership properties. We strive to create an environment where individuals feel safe, respected, and supported. By working together with our customers, colleagues, partners and relevant authorities, we aim to prevent and address any welfare concerns promptly and effectively.
If you have any questions or would like further information about our safeguarding policy, procedures, statements, and approach, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The safety and wellbeing of our customers and colleagues are our top priority.
