We can all stop abuse. We can all make a difference by taking more notice of what is going on in our work place, in our home or neighbourhood.

Together we can stop the abuse from happening. We can do this by looking for the signs and by telling the Police, Health Services or Kirklees Council Adult Services.

Together we can promote a "Zero Tolerance" approach to safeguarding vulnerable adults.

"Look for the signs, and treat people with dignity and respect".

It's everyone's responsibility to speak out

If you have heard or seen something that worries you, or if you think someone is being abused, please tell us about it. Together we can stop it.
