What is Adult Support and Protection?

What happens next?

An investigation may take place if more information is needed to work out what has happened. If you are being harmed it will be important to work out how to stop any further harm taking place.

After the investigation there will be discussion with you, and any other relevant person, to agree what action may be needed to ensure you are safe.

This may involve an Adult Protection 'Case Conference' which is a meeting involving everyone concerned. This will be arranged by Social Work Services.

The meeting will discuss:

  • the harm you are experiencing
  • who is causing it
  • what can be done to stop it
  • how to keep you safe in the future

The meeting will decide if a protection plan is required.

A Protection Plan is an agreed plan to keep you safe from harm. You will be involved in your plan, and with your agreement, your family and friends.
