West Sussex County Council: Adult Safeguarding

West Sussex County Council works hard to safeguard vulnerable adults against abuse. Abuse of vulnerable adults is a significant and socially important feature of society which has considerable cost to those affected.

Accordingly, the subject of adult abuse and how to protect – or in more recent terms, safeguard – vulnerable adults has in recent decades risen on the social policy agenda.
