## Overview

Draft or update a safeguarding policy for a designated centre aligned with HIQA and national safeguarding guidance.

## Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the *HIQA Designated Centre Safeguarding* skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

## Example conversation

**You:** We need a safeguarding policy for our designated centre for adults with disabilities—HIQA-aligned and Tusla reporting.

**Agent:** I'll use the NSSBH reference and HIQA designated-centre standards. I'll draft a safeguarding policy covering: definitions of abuse and harm; designated person and person in charge; internal and Tusla reporting; response and follow-up; training; and links to complaints. I'll specify escalation to Tusla and ensure all staff know how to report.

## Output excerpt

### Designated centre safeguarding policy excerpt

**Designated person** — The designated person for safeguarding is [name/role]. All staff and residents (where appropriate) know who this is. Concerns can be reported to the designated person or directly to Tusla in line with national guidance.

**Response** — All concerns are recorded and assessed. Where a referral to Tusla is required, it is made within [timeframe]. The person in charge ensures follow-up and that the resident is supported. Lessons learned are shared without identifying individuals.

## Extension and validation

This skill does not include custom validation tools. Elaboration is guided by the skill workflow and reference materials.
