This report outlines the view of respondents who answered a series of 10 questions posed by Healthwatch Barking and Dagenham on behalf of the Safeguarding Adult Board (SAB). This survey contributes to the public consultation undertaken by the SAB as part of drafting the Adult Safeguarding Strategy for the London borough of Barking and Dagenham.

Between April and July 2014, Healthwatch Barking and Dagenham visited a number of events and open days and engaged with the community. We asked adults about their experience and knowledge of protecting vulnerable adults.
