Everyone has a right to feel safe and to live without fear of abuse, neglect or exploitation. Our priority is to protect adults who live in the borough, promote their wellbeing, and reduce the risk of harm for those with care and support needs.
Some adults are less able to protect themselves than others, and some have difficulty making their wishes and feelings known. This may be because they:
- need care and support
- are elderly and frail
- have a physical or learning disability, or a sensory impairment
- have a long term illness, such as cancer
- have mental health needs such as depression, paranoia, dementia, or personality disorder
- have a substance or alcohol addiction
- are unable to make choices for themselves
If you feel you're being mistreated, harmed or abused, or you know someone who is, speak up - we're here to help.
