Anyone heard of this? It stands for Protection Of Vunerable Adults.
Has anyone had any experience of this? I've been told that if a certain situation arises at home. These forms will have to be filled out as I would be seen as a 'vunerable adult'.
Basically I live at home with my Mum and Brother and at the moment I guess the people at the hospital consider me under enough care because my Mum is there. But, due to a number of things:
1- her own depression arising
2- possible new bf moving in whilst he tried to get 'clean' from a heroin addiction
my therapist has said that if this happens, they will have to fill out these forms.
I don't understand what this will mean for me. I've tried asking but they are being pretty cagey about it all.
If this happens, are they basically saying that my Mum will no longer be allowed to be my carer? Like she's neglected me in some way? That's awful!!! I don't want them to do that!!! It would destroy her!

However, you need to think about what is going to be SAFE and HEALTHY for YOU. If Mom is struggling with depression, and Boyfriend is working on his own addiction recovery, is that the best place for you to be growing and working on your own health?
