Simon Leftley, corporate director for adult and community services at Southend council, said: “In many cases, particularly with the victims of domestic violence, many adults will refuse any offers of help or assistance.Good luck squaring that circle, then, Mr Leftley.
“While we must respect the right of adults to make independent decisions about their lives, we also need to ensure that appropriate checks and balances are in place.”
