Safeguarding
Everyone has the right to live a life that is free from abuse, harm, and neglect. Adults and Communities, and other partner organisations in the London Borough of Barnet are working to make life safer for adults living in the borough of Barnet who due to their circumstances are most at risk of being abused, neglected or exploited.
Reporting abuse
- If you think an adult is in immediate danger you should call the police on 999 (urgent) or dial 101 (non-urgent).
-
If you suspect that you or someone you know is being taken advantage of or suffering from some form of abuse, please call Social Care Direct on 020 8359 5000 020 7974 4000 and or email socialcaredirect@barnet.gov.uk
