Home/ Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults

Clarity in a complex world.

Safeguarding refers to the measures taken to protect individuals, particularly those who are vulnerable from abuse, neglect and exploitation.

 

It involves ensuring that people are safe from harm, that their rights are respected and that they can live free from fear or risk of abuse. Safeguarding is crucial for protecting vulnerable groups such as children, older adults and individuals with disabilities or mental health conditions.

Our specialist team can advise family members, carers, service users and friends and neighbours of the adult with care and support needs.

 

We can help and advise if:

  • You are a relative or carer who has been told by Social Services that they have reason to believe that there has been neglect, harm or abuse to an adult in your care and that a safeguarding investigation has been commence 
  • You represent, or are, the individual who is being abused or exploited 
  • You are a relative, carer or friend who is worried about what another person is doing or not doing to an adult with care and support needs 

Please contact us if you need help with a safeguarding investigation or to take steps to protect a potentially vulnerable adult
