Safeguarding adults for professionals

Are you concerned for someone's safety or wellbeing?

If you think that someone may be being abused, neglected or exploited, please tell us.

Safeguarding concerns may include:

• Self‑neglect such as:

  • Living in unsafe or unhygienic conditions 

  • Not washing or changing clothes 

  • Hoarding that makes it hard to move around safely 

  • Avoiding contact or missing appointments 

• Physical abuse

• Domestic abuse

• Sexual abuse

• Psychological or emotional abuse

• Financial or material abuse

• Discriminatory abuse

• Organisational or institutional abuse

• Neglect and acts of omission

• Modern slavery

We will work with partner organisations to ensure people have the right support to stay safe and well.

If the person is in immediate danger, phone the police on 999
