Self-Neglect Awareness
6 May 2026 from 9.30m to 12.30pm – MS Teams session - Book now!
Self-neglect is a behavioural condition where a person fails to care for their own personal hygiene, surroundings and health and this is often paired with a refusal of help from friends, family and services. In extreme cases, adults have died due to self-neglect. It is often a complex situation, and early identification and lawful intervention is key. On this event we encourage attendance across NAC and our multi-agency partners, to know the early signs of self-neglect and how to refer to Health & Social Care Partnership and when to apply the criteria of Adult Support & Protection (Scotland) Act 2007.
Hoarding Disorder Awareness

Hoarding is a compulsion to gather possessions, coupled with an inability to discard and organise items, leading to severe clutter and an inability to use one’s home. Items are collected obsessively which have little or no real monetary value. Distress is caused when adults think about or are forced to discard possessions. On this event, we encourage attendance from staff across NAC and all multi agency, to understand this Disorder and what we can do as professionals to limit further distress and trauma.
