Surrey CC has embarked on a campaign to prevent the neglect and abuse of vulnerable adults. An awareness-raising campaign – dubbed ‘Stop adult abuse' – began on 5 June, when the county's safeguarding team met members of the public to discuss the importance of reporting incidents and how to spot abuse. The event was due to be followed by a series of workshops, presentations, quizzes and discussion groups. Local Conservative MP Anne Milton, who has backed the campaign, said: ‘I hope we achieve our aim of spreading this important message to all of Surrey.'
