Types of abuse
Abuse of adults can happen to anyone.
There are many ways in which adults may be abused. It can include physical or sexual abuse, neglect, modern day slavery, emotional abuse, or financial abuse.
Abuse can take place anywhere which includes the home, a public place, a care home, or a day centre. The abuser may be a stranger, or someone known to the person.
Everyone has the right to be free from abuse and neglect. We are committed to preventing abuse and responding promptly when we are made aware of suspected abuse.
We can help you if you are being abused and need help to stop it happening or if you are concerned that someone else may be being abused.
