Signposting – How to Report Abuse

If you have concerns or suspect that an adult is at risk of either being harmed or abused, then you must report it.

To report abuse you should:

  • Call Adult Safeguarding team via your local council as shown below
  • If a crime is taking place now, dial 101 to inform the police (or 999 if it is a serious crime/an emergency).
  • Call 999 if you believe any other emergency service is needed.
  • You may also report concerns to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on 03000 61 61 61 if your concern relates to a care organisation i.e. care home, hospital.
