POVA is now called Adult Safeguarding, in case they start using that term, and you are wondering what the heck they mean.
In general, it depends on how much of a risk. If it is happening to you now, or someone else (say a kid) is in danger, then they will go to the police.
If it is in the past, like the above poster said, unless you want to go to the police, they will do nothing. However they may refer to you to someone who deals with that area, such as a specialist counsellor. Again, that would happen only with your consent.
However, I notice you are in Germany. I dont know the legal system over there, so things may be different. However this is what would happen if the same situation occurred to you in the UK.
