Adult support and protection

Our Vision  

North Lanarkshire’s Adult Protection Committee vision is that adults who experience or are at risk of harm are safer as a result of the support, protection and services they receive.  

Our aim is to drive forward professional and public awareness of harm affecting adults at risk, working in partnership with our members and the wider community to ensure that vulnerable and at risk people in and from North Lanarkshire are safe and protected from harm.  

Role of the Adult Protection Committee 

The Adult Protection Committee (APC) has a central role to play in taking an overview of adult protection activity in North Lanarkshire council area, and making recommendations to ensure that adult protection activity is effective.
