Wiltshire Council recognises that vulnerable people can be abused and are committed to working in partnership with other agencies both to prevent abuse and to investigate allegations of abuse. Our (Protecting) Vulnerable Adults from Abuse factsheet contains helpful information and who to contact if you have a concern is listed under how to report any concerns.

An easy to read leaflet, Keeping People Safe in Wiltshire is also available.
