How to report concerns about an adult
Concerns about an adult
If you are finding it difficult to manage at home, are caring for someone and need some support, or are concerned about someone who may be at risk, Adult Social Services helps people who live in Trafford and are aged over 18. They support:
- People with mental health issues
- People who have a physical disability
- People who have a health condition
- Older people
- People with a learning disability
- People who care for someone
Send your referrals or queries using the Trafford Adult Social Care online portal and they will get to the team who is best placed to help with your enquiry. The TSSP AdultThreshold guidance is available here. The safeguarding adult’s threshold tool has been developed to assist practitioners in assessing the seriousness and level of risk associated with a safeguarding adults concern. The aim is to ensure that everyone understands the threshold consideration. The tool is not intended to replace professional judgement.
If you are already in contact with an adult social care team you can contact them using email:
- Request for an assessment or general queries: AdultSocialCare@trafford.gov.uk
- Safeguarding referrals and queries: AdultSafeguardinghub@trafford.gov.uk
If you think that you or an adult is in immediate danger - don’t delay call the police on 999.
