In this week’s The Orcadian
This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now in shops and is available online here.
On the front page, we report that an inspection has found some adults at risk of harm did not get the protection they needed from those local agencies charged with protecting the public.
The joint inspection of adult support and protection services in Orkney has also found that only 41 per cent of adults at risk of harm were offered advocacy services — despite the positive impact this had on those who had an advocate.
Also in this week’s edition is a Renewables and Energy Efficiency pull-out feature, including everything from the latest successes of local marine companies to the best ways to heat your home.
