Vulnerable adult report- HELP

[Shaishai]

I had a really bad time a (detail removed by Moderator) ago and it ended with the police doing a vulnerable adult report to social services on me. I have had a couple of attempts made by them to contact me and they will be trying again in a couple of days.

Have any of you had one done on you? What do they talk about? I’m really scared about it and that my son is now on their radar. Part of me wants to just ignore their calls and hope it goes away. Will they give up? What do I say?

If it’s a vulnerable adult check then it’s just for you, I had the fire service call them once cos they saw how my disability was affecting me and my home life, it was basically adult social services, if you don’t want them in touch you don’t have to but as it’s adult it’s not to do with your son whatever the concern raised it’s for you 🤗🧡🤗

Thank you. It is just for me but it was done because I was considering ending it all. Because of this I am worried that they might look at my son too. They are due to call me tomorrow so fingers crossed it is OK 🤞🤞

Hi Shaishai

I am sorry to hear that you reached such a point of desperation, and I hope you are feeling stronger now. Do you still feel that this is on your mind, or have you got yourself to a better state now?

I think that will make a big difference to how they assess your risk, as risk to yourself or others is the criteria for taking steps to involve themselves whether you want this or not.

Do use here all you need for support from us, and to find and access other sources of support so that you come to a stronger place where you can feel more able to manage. Sending you all the strength.

warmest wishes

I’m glad you reconsidered shaishai because there are people who would be completely devastated at your loss and I always worry about things like this when I’ve not seen forum members for a while that they might have taken themselves at their own hands or been taken by their partners/ex, you don’t have to see them if you don’t want to, your still here so it means you had the strength to fight for yourself, I understand how you got to that point as I’ve felt it myself (and acted on it twice) but by still being here we’re kind of all keeping each other up cos it’s like a ring a ring a Rosie’s if one goes down others might be tempted so we have to be strong and be survivors we are ♥️❣️♥️
