The abuse, neglect and exploitation of older people in community
and residential care settings is increasingly being recognised and
addressed as a serious social concern in Britain. In Canada, where
the issue has had a much higher profile, different forms of
practice have developed. Elder Abuse Work gives an overview of the
developments and issues in both countries and draws out good
practice guidelines. The chapters analyse research, theory, policy
development, legislation, practice issues, resources and new ideas.
The specific aspects covered include clinical practice
developments, cross-agency coordination, 'self-help' for older
people, awareness raising, financial abuse, and the medical and
police perspectives. Innovative models for abuse intervention which
have been generated in Canada are described and assessed. The book
includes ideas for training and tested training exercises. The
contributors are drawn from a wide range of settings in both
voluntary and statutory agencies, as well as the academic world.
This exhaustive volume will guide and inspire the direct work of
anyone involved in the care of older people who have been victims
of abuse, as well as informing and focusing the decisions of
managers and policy makers on the central issues of concern.
