Adult safeguarding thresholds
=============================

Under the Care Act (2014) safeguarding duties apply to any adult (aged 18 and over) who

- has needs for care and support (regardless of whether the local authority is meeting these needs).
- is experiencing, or is at risk of, abuse or neglect.
- due to their care and support needs, is unable to protect themselves from the risk or experience of abuse or neglect.
