If you or the person you are concerned about is:
-
aged 18 or over
-
in need of, or may need, health and social care support (whether or not they are receiving these services)
-
being abused or at risk of abuse from another person
Then you should consider making a safeguarding adult referral.
If there is an immediate risk of harm to the person, you should contact the Police via 999 in the first instance. If a crime has been committed but the person is not in danger, you can report this to the Police using the non-emergency number 101.
You can find out more about how to make a safeguarding referral by visiting our Worried about an adult page.
