Adult Support and Protection is everyone’s business. This video animation, made for Scotland’s national Adult Support and Protection Day 2023, highlights the signs of self-neglect and neglect. The video is especially useful in highlighting the role that people in the community have in raising concerns. The particular context of this video is the cost-of-living crisis, which may make day-to-day decisions harder. This, in turn, can impact on people’s ability to look after themselves or others around them. A shorter version is also available.

  • Will help me to be more aware of my colleagues and parents that I’m in contact with everyday. To think about how I communicate with them and support them.
