Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Safeguarding Adults Board

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Safeguarding Adults Board

This website includes information on safeguarding adults who have care and support needs from abuse, and the work of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Safeguarding Adults Board.

This site provides information for people who may experience or be at risk of experiencing abuse, their families, carers, neighbours, community and anyone who works with people with health or social care needs.

The site will be maintained and up dated on a regular basis to ensure the information contained within it reflects the best possible information that is available.

Anyone who becomes aware of concerns of abuse must report those concerns as soon as possible and in within one working day. In the first instance you may need to report the information verbally. If in doubt, report sooner rather than later.

If you are concerned about someone, seek any emergency help and report the concern.

Call 999 without delay if the adult requires urgent medical attention, is in danger of repeated significant harm or has just been the victim of a serious crime. Tell the emergency service that the person is an adult with care and support needs.

If the person is not in immediate danger, contact the council on the number below.
