Adult Support and Protection - Self-neglect

Self-neglect can be a complex and challenging issue and includes situations where a person is unable to fulfil their own needs in terms of care, hygiene, health or the environment in which they live.

People who suffer from self-neglect generally decline any offer of support and this often has a significant impact on their overall wellbeing.

There are a number of indicators of self-neglect including:

• Poor personal hygiene
• Malnutrition and/or dehydration
• Hoarding
• Neglecting household maintenance
• Inability or unwillingness to take medication or treat injury/illness

How can you help?

Self-neglect is a particular risk for those living in isolation. Please take time to check on your neighbours, friends and family and offer support where possible.

If you are concerned that a vulnerable adult may be at risk of harm and self-neglect, please don’t ignore it. Contact one of the relevant agencies below who will deal with the matter sensitively:
