From 17 to 21 November 2025, the UK marks Safeguarding Adults Week, led by the Ann Craft Trust under the theme “Prevention: Act Before Abuse”. The campaign calls on organisations, professionals, and communities to strengthen prevention, accountability, and action, recognising that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. For regulated sectors such as health and social care, education, housing, and the voluntary sector, this week reinforces that compliance is not just about responding to incidents but creating systems that stop harm before it happens. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how organisations can embed prevention-focused safeguarding into policy, governance, and workforce culture through ComplyPlus™, ensuring that dignity, rights, and protection remain at the heart of everyday practice.

From 3 to 7 November 2025, the UK marks Trustees’ Week, an annual celebration of the nearly one million trustees who guide charities and community organisations with integrity and vision. The 2025 theme, “Celebrating the power of good governance” calls on trustees to strengthen governance, accountability, and collaboration in a changing regulatory landscape. For regulated sectors such as health and social care, education, and public services, the parallels are clear: effective oversight, transparent decision-making, and ethical leadership are the foundations of trust. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how Trustees’ Week 2025 challenges boards to reflect, review, and renew their governance practices - ensuring that compliance and culture evolve together.
