Safeguarding vulnerable adults
Are you being abused?

- hit, pinched, handled roughly - physical abuse
- touched where you do not want to be touched - sexual abuse
- ignored, left in soiled or wet clothing - neglect
Are you having

No-one should do any of these things to you. Even people who are supporting or caring for you.
In an emergency call the police or ambulance 999. You can phone any time.
Tell someone you can trust like a
- Doctor

Do not keep it to yourself. Tell someone
You will not get into trouble and someone will listen.
