This text provides an understanding of current professional
practice in social and health care, examining abuse of vulnerable
adults and the ways in which social policy, welfare services and
practitioners may compound or alleviate vulnerability. Working with
Vulnerable Adults develops a sound basis for understanding issues
of risk, vulnerability and protection and investigates how agency
policies and procedures may, often unintentionally, lead to the
voice of service users being marginalised or unheard. Drawing on
recent and established research about the protection of vulnerable
adults, the book covers: * Social work, social care settings and
vulnerable adults * The concept of abuse and adult protection *
Using the law in adult protection * Professional and quality
assurance issues * Assessment in social work with vulnerable adults
* Dealing with and managing vulnerability, risk and abuse * Adults
with mental health difficulties, long-term conditions and learning
disabilities * Community abuse and asylum seekers Much contemporary
social and health care practice with adults is concerned with
issues of risk and protection. Working with Vulnerable Adults
provides information and knowledge for students and practitioners
who are interested in finding out more about this important field.
