Antisocial Behaviour and Hate Policy
People with vulnerabilities
A person may be vulnerable for a variety of reasons, for example, mental or physical ill health, learning disability, drug or alcohol dependency or being subject to trauma. A vulnerable person can be the victim or perpetrator. If a person is deemed vulnerable, interventions are made as soon as possible to prevent further problems occurring. Every effort is made with vulnerable people to try and resolve issues. Actions taken by the council will be proportionate to their behaviour and we will consider the circumstances and attitudes surrounding the individual throughout the investigation.
