Vulnerable Individuals

Defining a vulnerable individual is not as easy as it first appears. Vulnerability covers a broad spectrum of concerns ranging from traumatic experiences and wider inequalities that can impact on people’s health and wellbeing, to elderly individuals with capacity issues.

A vulnerable individual could indeed be an elderly person but could also be a child, or a much younger person involved in a predatory marriage, someone who requires safeguarding or a young adult who needs care and attention on a day-to-day basis.

Here at Hunters, we recognise the complex and multifaceted aspects of vulnerability and have developed specialist teams and legal services to support vulnerable individuals and, if needed, their families. We’ve helped people take control of their lives after family breakdown or domestic abuse. We’ve supported families to protect their loved ones – from powers of attorney to tackling emotionally charged but vital conversations about end-of-life decisions. And we’re known for our experience handling the extremely sensitive safeguarding cases. Take a look at our wide range of expertise and get in touch if you require support for yourself or members of your family.
