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.
