Vulnerable Adult Scheme Revamped

A scheme which aims to support vulnerable adults in Tayside is to start paying participants. The appropriate adults project can no longer run using volunteers, because of an increase in demand for the service, according to Tayside Police.

In future, it will be delivered through contracted staff who will be paid a retainer and hourly rate. The scheme, launched in 1998, provides support to people with mental health issues and learning disabilities.

Anyone interested in taking part has been asked to contact Tayside Police.
