Welcome to our website. Sunderland’s Safeguarding Adults Partnership is made up of a wide range of statutory, independent and voluntary agencies and organisations, all working together to keep adults, particularly those who are more vulnerable, safe from the risk of abuse or harm.

What should you do if you have concerns that someone may be at risk of abuse?

Every day vulnerable adults are physically, psychologically, financially or sexually abused, discriminated against or neglected.

And every day people witness this and say nothing.

• take care of themselves
• speak out for themselves
• protect themselves against abuse or exploitation

Abuse is any behaviour towards a person that deliberately or unknowingly causes him or her harm, endangers life or violates their rights.

The worst you can do is nothing
