How to Help?

When you report suspected abuse, you do not have to give your name, but if you do, it will not be given to the people involved.

All suspected incidents of abuse will be investigated fully and appropriately.

Next Steps:

If you tell health or social care staff, they will:

  • take your concerns seriously

  • make sure that the person is safe

  • help the person to get medical treatment if needed

  • involve the police if a crime is suspected

  • involve other staff to investigate and protect the person being abused
