Buckinghamshire Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Board

Buckinghamshire Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults 

We are committed to preventing and protecting vulnerable adults in Buckinghamshire from abuse. People can be vulnerable for lots of different reasons which can make them vulnerable to abuse.

We also support professionals by providing training and policies and guidance to those people who work with vulnerable adults.


Safeguarding is everybody's business

 
If you or someone you know is being mistreated or abused please call Careline on 0800 137915.
