A Dundee committee has backed the first National Adult Support and Protection Day which was held across the country on Tuesday.

The national day highlights adults who are being harmed, neglected or taken advantage of, or appear to be at risk of it happening.

It covers the various types of adult harm, including physical, psychological, financial and sexual harm, and neglect.

Dundee Adult Protection Committee provides guidance on reporting and responding to situations where it is suspected, alleged or known that a vulnerable adult has been abused.

Independent committee convener Colin McCashey said: "If you think an adult's being harmed, get it checked out.

"It's right to act on your suspicions and we all have a responsibility to look out for others, neighbours, friends, relatives and anyone who could be subject to harm.

"The message is simple for Adult Protection Day, the same as every other day of the year.

"If you think an adult is at risk of harm and something feels wrong, you're right to get it checked out, so if you see something, say something."
