Adult Protection
Wirral care agencies acknowledge that for too long, circumstances have existed that place vulnerable adults at risk of being abused by some of those employed to protect them, and also by relatives, friends, neighbours and strangers.
There is now an increased awareness of the level and extent of adult abuse
and the need for a pro-active response.
Wirrals Protection of abused vulnerable adults policy sets out the principals
and processes in place on the Wirral to protect vulnerable people, ensuring all
concerns of abuse are investigated.
The Department of Adult Social Services has the lead on co-ordinating investigations into the abuse of vulnerable people in the Wirral. You can report suspected abuse to the Department of Adult Social Services by phoning 0151 606 2006.
