Adults

Please see the attached table for data relating to complaints or referrals made to the Jersey Designated Officer for the reasons specified in respect of adults, from 21 November 2019 to-date.

Please note that prior to 21 November 2019, adult safeguarding concerns were not categorised in a central database by the type of abuse alleged or safeguarding concern raised, though this detail would be held in individual care records. Examining individual records would exceed the timescales prescribed in the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014. Therefore, Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied in this respect.
