Safeguarding adults
Sometimes adults with care and support needs are unable to protect themselves from the risk or experience of abuse or neglect.
'Safeguarding' is a term that describes the process for protecting them, and it is covered by law.
The Care Act 2014 (GOV.UK) sets out the safeguarding responsibilities of local services who must work together to safeguard adults in a way that supports them in making choices, and having control about how they want to live.
If you are at risk, or suspect that someone else is telephone the Gloucestershire Adults Help Desk on (01452) 426868 or email Socialcare.enq@gloucestershire.gov.uk
