Rochdale Borough Safeguarding Adults Board

All adults aged 18 and over should be able to live free from fear and harm, and have their rights and choices respected.

Some adults are less able to protect themselves than others, and some have difficulty making their wishes and feelings known.  This may make them more vulnerable to abuse. 

Safeguarding adults refers to the protection of individuals from abuse or neglect.  if you feel that you, or another adult is at risk then you should consider making a safeguarding adult referral.
