Safeguarding vulnerable adults in Kirklees - IntroductionSarah Carlile - March 2012protection@kirklees.gov.uk 
The Government is determined that vulnerable adults should be given the greatest protection possible from harm. We want to make you aware of adult abuse and provide you with the information you need to report any abuse you think is happening. This information has been put together by Kirklees Council Adult Services, Health Services and the Police. These organisations are represented on the "Kirklees Safeguarding Adults Board". Their role is to put in place legislation and to offer guidance on how adult abuse can be prevented and stopped.  How to report adult abuse (PDF: 244Kb)
