Carers Rights Day 2025

Today, on Carers Rights Day, the Aberdeenshire Adult Protection Committee recognise the vital role carers play in supporting adults who may be vulnerable or at risk. Carers are often the first to notice when something isn’t right, and your voice is essential in keeping people safe.

Key messages for Adult Support and Protection:

• Everyone has the right to live free from harm and neglect.
• If you see something, say something. Carers are partners in safeguarding—your concerns matter.
• Support is available. If you’re worried about an adult’s safety or wellbeing, Speak to your support worker or contact our local Adult Support and Protection team – 01467 533100.
• Working together protects rights. ASP is about balancing safety with respect for individual choice and dignity.

Your commitment makes a difference every day. Thank you for everything you do to protect and empower those you care for. Click here for more information of Carers Rights Day in Aberdeenshire.
