National Adult Support and Protection Day 2023

The cost-of-living crisis is making day to day decisions harder for many, but for some adults, it may make the pressure of taking care of others or of themselves even harder.  Everyone has a role to play in keeping people safe from harm, and Adult Support and Protection Day helps highlight the role people in the community have in raising concerns.
