Community safety

What is safeguarding? It is a way of protecting people from forms of abuse such as

• neglect
• domestic violence
• modern slavery
• discrimination

If you see or hear something that doesn't seem right, say something.

If you or someone you know is being abused, or may be at risk of any form of mistreatment or neglect, please:

• telephone Norfolk County Council on 0344 800 8020
• visit Norfolk County Council's Help an adult at risk of harm information hub

When you telephone you may remain anonymous, but if you can give us as much information as possible it will be helpful.

If you have immediate concerns for the safety of anyone, you should ring 999 for an emergency response.
