What inspires us to safeguard adults? Safeguarding Matters
Jodi Evans talks to Deborah Peat, a new trustee at The Ann Craft Trust, about the experiences that inspired her to focus on safeguarding adults. Deborah was the former safeguarding lead at Open University. Unfortunately, she recently suffered a brain haemorrhage. While recovering, she saw a lot of very vulnerable patients. She also witnessed some quite distressing instances where patients were being abused by members of their family, including an instance of cuckooing.Deborah and Jodi discuss how quickly our lives and our circumstances can change, which means that we could all become more at risk of abuse and coercion at some point. Deborah's experiences highlight the importance of advocacy and speaking out. They also demonstrate the power of people, networks, and communities in looking out for each other.

Preventing CTE in Sport With Head Safe Football - Safeguarding Matters
In this episode of Safeguarding Matters, Jodi Evans talks to Lou Crawford, Brain Health Educator at Head Safe Football. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive, degenerative brain disease caused by repetitive head impacts. In a sport setting, repeatedly heading a ball can eventually lead to CTE. The symptoms can appear gradually, over the course of years. Plus, they can stay the same for years before getting worse.Jodi and Lou discuss the risks of repetitive head impact in sport, and how footballers are particularly at risk. They also talk about how cultural changes can help prevent head injuries in sport. Communication can play a big role here. For example, footballers will tell everyone if they hurt their hamstring. But they may not tell anyone if they have a headache, which can be an early symptom of CTE.You can learn more about CTE on the Head Safe Football site.
