‘Adult Protection Referral’ should be selected if you know or suspect that there is a risk of harm to an adult who is ‘an adult at risk’ as defined by the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007. This definition includes people aged 16 and over with disabilities and/or mental health disorders, illness, or physical or mental infirmity who are unable to safeguard themselves and who are at risk of harm from themselves or others.

‘Welfare Concern’ should be selected if you have concerns about an adult but they are not ‘an adult at risk’ under the Adult Support & Protection (Scotland) Act 2007.
