Tell us if you're worried about an adult.
Even if you're not 100% sure or don't have all the details, please tell us.
Or call us day or night – 0300 123 4042.
If someone is in immediate danger - call 999.
You can tell us about...
- general concerns regarding a care home or other care services
- concerns that an adult can't look after themselves
- concerns that an adult is being abused or neglected.
What happens next
- If your concern is about a person, we'll do all we can to make sure they are safe and protected.
- If a crime is taking place, we'll contact the police.
- We won't necessarily contact you.
- We will talk to you before we ever share your details (with the police, for example).
- For less serious general concerns, we might not always act on individual reports. But we will investigate if we get lots of reports about the same thing.
