The manual is written in an accessible format with ample exercises
and handouts, all designed for easy photocopying. Its great
advantage is the material's transferability across all disciplines
making it applicable to all professionals working with vulnerable
adults. Each chapter offers an introductory discussion of a
particular topic or question, such as how to identify different
types of adult abuse and how to discuss and respond to a
disclosure, highlighting the difficulties that may be associated
with such a sensitive discussion. Her Classification of what
constitutes different types of abuse in relation to differing ages,
genders, ethnicities and cultures is sophisticated yet accessible,
offering depth while avoiding stereotyping. In my view, this is an
ideal resource for training of support workers, nurses, social
workers, care managers, training officers, police officers and
students of these subjects. If such training can be interagency and
interprofessional, then this is likely to provide even greater
benefits. - The Author, Journal compilation `...comprehensively
engages with all aspects of adult protection work, from suspecting
or making an allegation that abuse is happening, through to the
investigation and case conference stages. It achieves
comprehensiveness by including consideration of risk assessment,
but manages to do this by providing materials for both basic
awareness training through to more advanced and in-depth training.
The resource covers specific sections of society, such as older
people, younger people, black and minority ethnic people, and
specialised chapters including additional training materials and
case studies. The material achieves clarity in the theoretical
framework and helps the participant to work through what the theory
means for practice. Exercises, handouts, key learning points, case
examples and suggested reading are all part of this approach.' -
Leveson Centre Newsletter Working with Adult Abuse is a
comprehensive training resource, which can be used by anyone who
works with vulnerable adults across the sectors (statutory,
voluntary and independent). It can be used by people who have a
responsibility for training within any organisation, but also by
any individual worker or student. The resource covers all aspects
of adult protection work, from suspecting or making an allegation
that abuse is happening in the community or in a communal setting
through to the investigation and case conference stages, including
consideration of risk assessment and the development of protection
plans. In doing so, it provides materials for basic awareness
training courses through to more advanced and in-depth training.
Practical advice is presented within the historical context of
adult abuse guidance and policy development. This is complemented
by specialised chapters on the abuse of specific sections of
society, such as older people, younger adults and black and
minority ethnic people, which provide additional training materials
and case studies. Each chapter offers an introductory discussion of
a particular topic or question, such as exactly what constitutes
adult abuse, how to respond to a disclosure of abuse, when to
report abuse and to whom. Exercises, handouts, key learning points,
case examples and suggested reading are also included. The
resource, which is presented in a large A4 format, includes a
wealth of photocopiable materials. This is an ideal resource for
the training of social workers, care managers and workers, training
officers, police officers, students of social work 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.
