An Appropriate Adult Service for Vulnerable Adults in London will safeguard the interests of a vulnerable adults suspected of a criminal offence, to ensure they are treated in a fair and just manner and are able to participate effectively. Following the Casey review, a high quality and consistent Appropriate Adult Service for Vulnerable Adults is needed more than ever. This aims to create equity for all those coming into custody.

MPS figures show the current demand for Appropriate Adults of Vulnerable Adults in London is 16.5% of those coming through custody. Evidence shows this demand might be higher but current thresholds for vulnerability and identification thereof means numbers are low.

This will ensure as many vulnerable adults as possible requiring an Appropriate Adult will have access to one. MOPAC will develop a quality standard, embedding guidance from the National Appropriate Adult Network (NAAN) to ensure both volunteering schemes and commissioned providers effectively meet the needs of vulnerable adults and key partners.
