The Cumbria Safeguarding Adults Board are a group of people who work together to help people in Cumbria keep safe from harm or abuse.  The Board has a lot of different people including Adult Social Care, NHS and the Police.

We have two easy read booklets which tell you more about safeguarding adults:

'Keeping People Safe' tells you:

• what we are doing to keep people safe in Cumbria,
• what abuse is and
• who you should tell, if you are worried someone is being abused or neglected.

'Seven Steps to Keep People Safe' tells you:

• who can help and
• what happens in Cumbria, when anyone reports abuse or neglect of anyone aged 18 or over.

Please tell someone and get help if you are worried.  You can call:

• Adult Social Care on 01228 606060 during office hours,
• Adult Social Care on 01228 526690 for urgent calls in the evening and at weekends or
• the Police on 101.
