Hundreds of concerns over abuse and neglect are raised every month about Sefton’s most vulnerable residents.
Data revealed in papers released by Sefton Council this week show the scale and pattern of abuse and neglect in the borough, with most cases occurring in people’s own homes.
In a report produced ahead of a meeting of the council’s adult social care and health scrutiny committee, which is due to be held next week, it states that Sefton Council received over 2,500 contacts last year, about safeguarding issues – equating to over 200 contacts each month.
