Short profile:
To enable older people, carers, people with a physical, visual or hearing impairment, a learning disability or a mental health need to live as independently as possible in their local communities, help and support is available. Darlington Borough Council, Health services and the Police have a duty to protect vulnerable adults from abuse.
Detailed description:
Adults most at risk of abuse are those individuals aged 18 years and over, who may be in need of extra support because they are elderly or have a learning disability, physical impairment, sensory impairment or a mental health problem and who are, or may be, unable to take care of themselves or unable to protect themselves against harm.
