| Annotation | Anyone working with vulnerable adults needs to be trained on the subject of adult abuse, because a high percentage of these adults have been abused in the past or are living in abusive situations. This manual can be used as a stand-alone training tool to support training course on adult abuse. The manual covers: history, current guidance and principles; what adult abuse is; investigating adult abuse; case conferences; risk assessment and developing protection plans; the importance of recording; and the abuse of older people, younger adults, and black and minority ethnic (BME) people. Each chapter has an introductory discussion of a particular question or topic, such as how to respond to a disclosure of abuse, when to report abuse and to whom. Chapters also variously include case examples, suggested reading, exercises, handouts (which can be used for overhead projections - OHPs), and role plays. The resource will therefore be of value in training social workers, training officers, police officers, and those undergoing NVQ or post-qualification training. It will also be helpful to unqualified staff such as home carers, residential staff and support workers. (RH). |
