About public protection in East and Midlothian

The East Lothian and Midlothian Public Protection Team, established in March 2014 in the Brunton Hall, Musselburgh, provides leadership across Adult Support and Protection, Child Protection and Violence Against Women and Girls, in recognition that for most service users their needs often cover more than one area. Our Public Protection structure is based on close collaboration and partnership working with service users, partner agencies and our communities towards improving outcomes for those in need of support and protection throughout East Lothian and Midlothian.

We have some hot desks in the office which are frequently used by staff from partner agencies.
