Every day abuse of adults at risk goes unreported.

Adult safeguarding means that councils, police and NHS agencies have a duty of care to protect adults who might be at risk of abuse.

WSAB and their partners have policies and procedures in place to encourage reporting of suspected abuse, and take action to stop the abuse.
