Kent Police backs drive to protect vulnerable adults - Kent News

Public awareness events being held in Medway as part of Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults week

The county’s force is backing an awareness campaign aiming to protect vulnerable adults.

The drive forms part of Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults week, which runs from today until June 15, with a number of drop-in events being held.

Kent Police said the campaign shines a spotlight on the abuse that elderly or those with a disability can be subjected to.

Police officers will be taking part in local events with other Kent-based agencies such as NHS, Trading Standards, Kent Fire and Rescue Service and Medway and Kent County Councils.

In Medway, there will be a public awareness stand offering advice and information on:

June 11 at Gillingham Market, 9am to 4.30pm

June 12 at Strood Market, 9am to 3pm

June 13 at Pentagon Shopping Centre, Chatham, 9am to 5pm

June 14 at Rochester Hub, 9am to 3pm

June 15 at Rainham Shopping Centre, 9am to 4pm

Detective Superintendent Tim Smith of Kent Police said: “Abuse can take many forms and it can be difficult to identify abuse is taking place unless there are obvious outward physical signs.

“For example, the elderly and those who have mental disabilities can often be subject to financial abuse if others gain access to their bank details or exploit a loss of memory.

“Abuse may also take the form of neglect and not providing for a vulnerable person’s basic living needs.

“Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Week intends to combat and prevent such abuse by giving carers and those who are themselves at risk the tools to spot signs of abuse and how to act on them once identified.

“This is an invaluable opportunity to work with local partners to highlight an important section of the community who depend on our joint services to protect them. Together, we hope to reduce the threat of abuse towards all vulnerable adults in Kent.”

    Kent Spitfires' clash with Northamptonshire Steelbacks in Clydesdale Bank40 abandoned - Kent Online

    Darren Stevens

    Rain proved the only winner at Tunbridge Wells as Kent Spitfires' Clydesdale Bank40 game against Northamptonshire Steelbacks was abandoned.

    Set a revised target of 203 from 32 overs, Kent reached six for no wicket when the rain returned for a second time. Hopes of a resumption at 6.30pm proved impossible and both teams had to settle for one point.

    Spitfires made a good start after Rob Key won the toss and put the Steelbacks in by reducing the visitors to 36-3 following the dismissals of David Willey and James Middlebrook to Darren Stevens, while Kyle Coetzer was picked up by Matt Coles.

    A fourth wicket stand between skipper Alex Wakely (42) and former Kent wicketkeeper Niall O'Brien (46) put on 74 in 17 overs, before James Tredwell made the breakthrough by trapping Wakely lbw to end his 47-ball knock which included three sixes and two fours.

    O'Brien became Coles' second victim, first ball back after rain, before Rob Keogh (23 not out) and David Murphy (18 not out) claimed 31 off the final three overs with Adam Ball conceding 16, as Northants finished on 168-5 from 32 overs.

    Sam Billings hit former Sri Lankan test star Chaminda Vaas for four before the weather intervened again as the Spitfires suffered their second successive wash-out in the competition and left Kent officials counting the cost financially.
