• A vulnerable adult is someone who is aged 18 years or over who "is or may or may be in need of community care services by reasons of mental health or other disability, age or illness" and "is or may be unable to take care of him or herself, or unable to protect him or herself against significant harm or exploitation". (Who Decides- Lord Chancellors Department (1997)).
