What will happen next?

We are able to take a number of actions, which might include:

Listening, helping and supporting the person
Working with them to stop the abuse and protect them or others from further harm
Supporting the person and their carers through the process
If a crime has been committed, we will work with the police
Being available to offer support in the future
If we cannot help, we will find out who can

All matters will be handled confidentially. However, if the issues concern evidence of a crime or unacceptable risk, this may be shared with the appropriate authorities.
