Protecting Adults at Risk

Protecting Adults at Risk involves safeguarding individuals who may be vulnerable to neglect, abuse, or exploitation due to factors like disability, illness, or age. It includes recognizing signs of harm, ensuring their safety, and providing support to maintain their well-being and independence. The goal is to prevent harm through careful assessment, appropriate intervention, and collaboration among professionals, carers, and the community. This approach promotes respect for adults' rights while prioritizing their safety and dignity.
