Help protect people from harm – join our online pledge

East Ayrshire’s Adult Support and Protection Committee has signed a pledge to never commit, condone or remain silent about harm against any person, in all its forms.

The committee met on Tuesday 20 February, this year’s Adult Support and Protection Day, launching the pledge with the aim of reaching a zero tolerance of harm for all citizens in East Ayrshire.

Throughout Scotland some adults are more at risk from all kinds of harm. This may be due to illness or a physical or mental health condition. Harm can be physical, psychological, financial or sexual, and can also mean neglect or self-neglect.

This is why we’re asking everyone who lives and works in East Ayrshire to join us in pledging their commitment to making our communities safe from harm. This will help raise awareness of the different types of harm a person might face and what we all need to do to help keep them safe.
