Safeguarding adults

The council is determined that adults with heightened risk of harm should be given the greatest protection possible from harm. Safeguarding means protecting an adult's right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.

The council, health services and police are represented on the Hillingdon Safeguarding Adults Board, whose role is to put in place legislation and to offer guidance on how adult abuse can be prevented and stopped.

If you're a member of the public, a carer, or a health professional, and have concerns about possible adult abuse or safeguarding issues, report it as soon as possible using our online form, providing all known relevant information.
