Opening Doors spoke to 55 adults with learning disabilities about safeguarding. Safeguarding means keeping people safe from harm, abuse and neglect.

More than half of people did not understand what safeguarding means or how to report abuse.

People said they feel scared, unsure, or do not know the phone number.

Many people feel safest reporting at home, at the GP or at their social club. People trust friends, family, doctors, police and advocacy workers. They trust strangers less.

The report says people need clear, easy information, simple ways to report abuse, better staff training, and more support to speak up.
