A postcript to my previous blog....

....about safeguarding adults at risk. New research just published by the NHS Information Centre shows that councils identified over 30,000 cases of abuse of vulnerable adults last year. That's around 200 cases per Local Authority. Can I respectfully suggest that EVERY advocacy service should be using these figures to lobby for specific funding to support victims of abuse in their local area?
