Do you have concerns about an adult? Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. If you have concerns about an adult’s safety and or wellbeing, you must act on these. It is not your responsibility to decide whether or not an adult has been abused. It is, however, your responsibility to act on any concerns.
