Dementia safeguarding
If you have concerns that a person with dementia or any other vulnerable adult may be being exploited, abused or neglected contact the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).
If you suspect a person is at immediate risk of harm call 999 and speak to the Police.
All calls concerning worries about abuse and neglect of adults or children will be treated seriously.
- Don’t ignore the abuse or neglect.
- Don’t keep it secret or put off reporting it.
- You should take action even if you are not 100% sure that abuse is taking place.
To report a non-urgent case of abuse or neglect, to make a safeguarding referral, or for advice or guidance contact Oldham Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).
