Keeping you safe from harm
If you suspect someone you know is being abused, for example physical, psychological, financial, sexual, neglect or discriminatory abuse, then you can report this on our Reporting abuse or neglect of an adult at risk section.
Other complaints procedures
Contact the Care Quality Commission If you have a complaint about a care home or service and do not want to complain to the home directly or to the council. They are responsible for making sure that providers meet the regulations and standards that apply to them.
If your complaint is about a service or provider that you have arranged yourself, you should discuss your complaint with the manager of that service. The service provider will give you a copy of their complaints leaflet. If you remain unhappy, the Local Government Ombudsman investigates complaints from people who arrange and manage their own social care.
