Put simply, a disclosure happens when:
The adult communicates that they have been (or are worried they may be) abused or neglected; or
Any other person reveals that they have seen an incident of abuse or neglect, or found evidence that indicates it may be, or is occurring.
A disclosure can be verbal, but can also be written (for example a text, email or letter).
A disclosure can relate to abuse that is happening now, may happen in the future or has happened in the past (historical).
