In this essay, i am going to explain the role of supportive relationships in reducing the risk of abuse and neglect, discussa range of ways in which practitioners build relationships and promote the rights of people using services in order to minimise the risk of abuse taking place. And then finally, I will evaluate the role of multi agency working to reduce the risk of abuse to adults.
