Suspecting Abuse? Have you got a problem?

You may be concerned about adult abuse because someone has told you something or you have seen or heard something that makes you feel uncomfortable or uneasy about the care of an adult. You may be being abused yourself and need help to stop it.

If you or someone you know is vulnerable and you feel concerned about how they are being treated, you can seek help.
