Adult protection
Many adults in the London Borough of Richmond may be vulnerable to abuse due to their age or disability. Adult abuse is not as well recognized as abuse of children but Social Services are trying to raise awareness throughout the community so they can help prevent or stop further abuse taking place.
Adult abuse does take place.
