What is Adult Support and Protection?
Who is involved?
If Social Work think an 'Adult at risk' is being harmed they must make enquiries and take action to prevent further harm. Social work will arrange to talk to you and listen to you about your situation.
You do not need to talk to the social worker or answer any questions if you do not want to.
The social worker can arrange for an independent advocacy worker to support you to make sure your views are heard.
You can have a friend or family member with you if you feel that would make it easier to speak to the social worker.
Unless social work believe someone is putting "undue pressure" on you to agree to things you are not happy with, your views about your situation will guide what happens next.
