Adults to whom we have a professional duty of care, (e.g. contacts made in family work);
Adults whom we encounter through our work, e.g. colleagues or other professionals;
Adult ex-residents or clients of abuse whilst they were in the care of someone else or whilst they were in the care of Childhood First.
