If you're worried about someone's immediate safety then you need to call 999.
If you’re worried about the risk of abuse to someone who is not a child or vulnerable adult, you can still get support. Other welfare concerns you may encounter could include someone:
- in an abusive relationship
- putting themselves at risk through reckless and unsafe drink and drug taking
- struggling with their mental health
- neglecting their health or self-harming.
Alternatively, you may know of things that could present a wider risk to others, such as local or internet scams, bad batches of drugs or criminal activity.
