 Abuse
can and does happen to adults. Every day vulnerable adults are physically,
psychologically, financially or sexually abused, discriminated against
or neglected by others. And every day people witness this and say
nothing. Would you know what to do?

People most at risk are those who may be unable to:
- take care of themselves
- speak out for themselves
- protect themselves against abuse or exploitation
They may depend upon other people or a service to support or care
for them. Abuse is any behaviour towards a person that deliberately
or unknowingly causes him or her harm, endangers life or violates
their rights. Abuse can happen anywhere and be perpetrated by anyone.
Remember: abuse can and does happen to adults. If you are worried
about anyone who is suffering or may be at risk of abuse, there
are people you can contact who will help. If you have concerns you
can ring this number for confidential advice or information:
