Increase the proportion of cases where action was taken and the risk was reduced or removed

Vulnerable people may need additional help and support to be safe from harm.  An adult safeguarding case is started when the Council is notified that a vulnerable person is being, or has been harmed.  This measure shows the proportion of cases where action was taken and the risk was reduced or removed.

This measure is important because it shows how effectively the Council is at making sure vulnerable adults are safe and protected.
