vulnerable adult
In the UK what is the diagnostic criteria the NHS uses for ascertaining whether or not someone is a "vulnerable adult"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Notava (talk • contribs) 12:24, 10 September 2016 (UTC)


 * first off, please read WP:NOMEDICAL and WP:IANAL. That said, I recommend reading the NHS Safeguard Policy and contact them should you have further questions. RegistryKey(RegEdit) 12:42, 10 September 2016 (UTC)


 * For a summary, see our article: Vulnerable_adult.   D b f i r s   13:10, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * When I was a teacher I was taught that any adult that I teach is by definition "vulnerable". Never mind the fact that I am a disabled female, not 5 feet tall, and I taught plenty of young strong healthy men over 6 feet tall - they were deemed to be "vulnerable" in that situation. --TammyMoet (talk) 16:59, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
