Appropriate Adult Services
Overview
We provide Appropriate Adult support for children and vulnerable individuals during police interviews and procedures.
Our role is to safeguard the rights and welfare of the individual, ensuring they understand what’s happening and feel supported throughout the process. We remain neutral but present, helping to reduce anxiety and prevent any misunderstanding during questioning.
Each visit is followed by a clear, professional summary, shared with the relevant professionals involved in the case.
We aim to ensure fair treatment, clear communication, and a calm, reassuring presence in what can often be a stressful environment.
