Report neglect or abuse of an adult (safeguarding concern)
Find out what to do if you think an adult is being neglected or abused.
What happens after you've made a report
After we receive your report, we’ll decide what to do next. This might mean talking to the police or a social worker.
We will take any report seriously and try to help if we can. We’ll keep your report confidential unless we need to tell another organisation about it to help the person being harmed.
Our decision will depend on:
- what the person being harmed wants
- how serious the situation is
- if others might be at risk
If you report on someone else's behalf, we might contact you for more details.
We might not be able to update you on what happens, but we will always investigate a situation that you’ve reported.
