Children’s Safeguarding

The four key aims of a patient safety incident response system are:

1. Compassionate engagement and involvement of those affected by patient safety incident
2. Application of a range of system-based approached to learning from patient safety
3. Considered and proportionate responses to patient safety
4. Supportive oversight focused on strengthening response system functioning and improvement
