Vulnerable Person Checks
Working on identifying and supporting vulnerable persons within our community who may be at risk of exploitation.
• Helping people access support services they may want or need.
• Frequent visits to check on the welfare of vulnerable individuals at home, ensuring it is safe and secure, and to address Anti-Social behaviour (ASB) caused by visitors that may be affecting the neighbouring households.
• Working with partner agencies to create a support network, to better protect vulnerable individuals
Achieving both the safeguarding the individual, and lowering ASB & criminal activity in our communities.
