Residents across East Lothian and Midlothian are being asked to be alert to vulnerable adults in their communities who may be at risk of harm. Harm can take many forms, including financial, physical abuse, neglect, self-neglect, self-harm, emotional abuse, and gender-based violence. Risk of being harmed can be greater due to factors such as ill health, trauma and physical or mental health conditions.
