Lewisham & Greenwich Appropriate Adult Service for Vulnerable Adults

The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) outlines the statutory requirement of the police to ensure an appropriate adult is present whenever a vulnerable adult is detained by the police. The role of an Appropriate Adult is:
To support, advise and assist the detained person, when they are being asked to provide information or participate in any procedure
To observe whether the police are acting properly and fairly, and to inform a senior officer if they consider that they are not
To assist with the detained person to communication with the police, whilst respecting their right to say nothing unless they want to
To help the detained person understands their rights and ensure those rights are protected and upheld

The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 s.38(4)(a) places a statutory requirement on local authorities to provide an appropriate adult service to all young people who are arrested, held and questioned at police stations within their borough. There is no statutory requirement for adults, however related legislation includes:

UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People
Human Rights Act 1998
Equality Act 2010
Mental Capacity Act 2005 and Code of Practice
