By promoting health and well-being we aim to strengthen, safeguard and protect vulnerable people
Adults are at risk of harm when another person's behaviour is causing (or likely to cause) them to be harmed or self-harm.
On the Adult Protection Committee website you can find information on
♦ the work we are currently doing - read our Newsletter for more information
♦ What harm is and how to recognise it
♦ What to do if you think someone is at risk of being harmed or is being abused
♦ Organisations who make up the Adult Protection Committee and what we do. Professionals can also find paperwork and reports.
If you know or suspect that an Adult is being harmed then you need to report your concerns. Don't assume that someone else has already reported it. The person being harmed or neglected may not be able to report it themselves. Remember, the person who did this may be doing it to others too.
