Safeguarding adults

The government 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.

This information has been put together by Hillingdon Council, health services and the police. These organisations 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, or a care or 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.

Report an adult safeguarding concern

Please note: This form should not be used to refer general concerns about an individual's health and wellbeing, including concerns relating to self-neglect.

If you think a serious crime has taken place or there is a need for immediate police response to protect the adult at risk, call 999.
