'Safeguarding adults' refers to the protection of 'adults at risk' from abuse. Previously known (in the UK) as POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults).

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, from large scale organisations down to singular members of the public. Everyone has a duty to appropriately report and refer concerns.
