Dozens of referrals were made over safeguarding concerns at Sefton care homes in the last three months of 2021.
In total there were 87 safeguarding referrals made, with over a third of those about episodes of abuse within care homes in the borough.
According to a report produced ahead of a meeting of Sefton Council ’s Adult Social Care and Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee, due to take place next week, the most common type of abuse seen in care homes between October and December was neglect and “acts of omission.”
