Question Asked
Asked by:
Marsha De Cordova (Labour)
Answer
We have made no specific assessment. Under the Care Act 2014, local authorities have statutory duties to safeguard adults with care and support needs from discriminatory abuse as a result of a person’s sexual orientation. This includes carrying out safeguarding enquiries where a safeguarding concern is raised.
