Quick Reference Guide To Keep Adults Safe

A Quick reference guide to keep adults with care needs safe!

Abuse is a very prevalent issue which affects peoples so vastly. I wanted to list some local contact details so that in the unfortunate case that someone is in need of emergency help, they are able to quickly access the appropriate services.

The Care Act 2014 defines the types of abuse as: physical abuse, domestic violence or abuse, sexual abuse, psychological or emotional abuse, financial or material abuse, modern slavery, discriminatory abuse, organisational or institutional abuse, neglect or acts of omission, self-neglect.

Sadly, abuse can affect anyone at any time, in any place, including the workplace and your own home. The contacts listed below aid with specific forms of abuse as seen next to their telephone numbers.
