Appropriate Adults Network: Helping members support young people and vulnerable adults in police custody

Appropriate Adults (in England and Wales) help to achieve a fairer justice system by safeguarding the welfare and rights of children and vulnerable adults in police detention.

Often volunteers from the local community, they can sometimes be the difference between life and death. 

We aim to ensure the rights and welfare of the most vulnerable people in our society by developing effective Appropriate Adults in England and Wales.

NAAN (National Appropriate Adults Network) provides Appropriate Adult training through its bank of registered trainers.
