If you think you or someone you care about has care and support needs there are a range of sources of support locally.
A carer is anyone who looks after a family member or friend who has a disability, mental or physical illness, or addiction, or who needs extra help as they grow older. Carers can be children, young people or adults. The impact of caring on all aspects of a carer's life can be significant.
Abuse means hurting people physically or emotionally or by taking things that belong to them. Neglect means putting people at risk by not meeting their needs for care and support.
Adult safeguarding means protecting an adult’s right to live in safety, free from abuse, neglect and self neglect. It is about people and organisations working together to prevent and stop abuse or neglect.
Here are some easy read guides about abuse and how to get help.
