West Midlands ADASS have recently launched their new Directory for Safeguarding and Wellbeing Services, featuring key national services and councils in the West Midlands.

This provides information about a range of services from preventing ill health, to getting information about abuse and crime. There are also organisations that provide support to people directly, including those whose behaviour may be causing harm to others. It will help anyone who needs to find support for others (or themselves) particularly if they have been affected by any type of crime.

It was produced as part of the West Midlands International Recruitment Programme 2024/25 but can be applied much more widely. It is designed to provide quick access to help and advice because safeguarding is a shared responsibility and we may also need these services ourselves.
