Safeguarding adults and children
Everyone has the right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.
Abuse and neglect can occur anywhere: in your own home or a public place, while you are in hospital or attending a day centre, or in a college or care home.
If you’re concerned about yourself or others, here are some avenues of support.
