The author has specialised in working with adult abuse and the
manual is set out in the way she recommends that training be
presented. There are chapters on older people, black and minority
ethnic people and younger adults, as well as on investigations and
case conferences.' - Nursing Standard 'Working with Elder Abuse is
a forthright and detailed training manual - the manual is a blend
of theory, exercises, and further readings and it is anticipated
that it will be used by staff trainers providing formal training as
well as by supervisors who will work through it with their staff
teams. The manual is clearly written, practical and realistic
without being condescending. It clearly benefits from being written
by someone who is herself a full time staff trainer on elder abuse
and has tested and honed the suggested training materials through
frequent use. The emphasis on experiential learning, drawing upon
the experience of the training participants and exploring attitudes
as well as knowledge is evident. This approach allows the potential
user to feel comfortable with replicating the training modules and
adpating them to fit other situations and content... Working with
Elder Abuse is an excellent training guide. The care that has been
taken in detailing all training steps, without burying the
reader/trainee in duplicative content, makes one eager to utilize
the manual immediately. This manual belongs on every trainer's
shelf. It can be used equally well both as a self-training guide
and to train large groups, and offers much that can be adapted for
use with other content areas.' - Journal of Teaching in Social Work
'This book achieves its stated aim. As a manual for use in
training, it provides a wealth of well presented material that may
be used by trainers who have a background knowledge in the field.
The material is presented in a logical and user friendly way. It
can be recommended to those who have to raise awareness of this
issue among the staff groups in the title.' - Registered Homes
'Pritchard (a well known and highly regarded contributor to the
field) draws on her experience as a trainer to facilitate the
empowerment of so called unqualified staff in confronting their own
feelings when facing `victims and abusers'... Of all writers on
elder abuse, she is grounded in practicability, underpinned by a
clear grasp of the training needs of front-line staff. This
handbook successfully integrates theory and exercises and should be
on the shelves of all trainers. It will be indispensable for staff
groups.' - Community Care 'This book pulls no punches. It discusses
sensitive issues, such as sexual abuse, frankly in everyday
language and is essential reading for managers and assistants about
abuse. NVQ students will find it useful and NVQ assessment centres
would be well advised to buy copies.' - Nursing Times 'A welcome
addition to the available texts on elder abuse. Working with Elder
Abuse by Jacki Pritchard is beautifully presented and easily
accessible - large well spaced print, eye-catching headings, and
interesting symbols signalling training tools such as handouts. The
language is clear and fluid.' - Action on Elder Abuse Bulletin 'The
language is clear and definitions and exercises are easy to
understand. The text is well laid out, and there is a lack of
jargon -This will be a very helpful book for all who are concerned
about elder abuse and should contribute towards the reduction of
such abuse in the future as well as giving confidence to trainers,
managers, care staff and all who are involved in care of the
elderly.' - Christian Council on Ageing 'Jacki Pritchard has
produced a valuable addition to the training literature... For the
beginner, this book is highly recommended.' - Baseline `The
training manual is long overdue. The A4 format of the book and the
permission to photocopy certain pages as handouts is very
welcome... Residential and day-care issues are well covered with
plenty of exercises... The straightforward language and the way
that practical issues are addressed is effective... The manual is
an excellent resource which managers, supervisors and trainers will
find invaluable.' - Ageing and Society This practical training
manual is written for home care, residential and day care staff,
who need to be able to recognise elder abuse, but may not be
trained to do so. Its large format, range of exercises and
photocopiable worksheets makes it a valuable source of training
material not only for training teams, but also for managers who
train staff and teams on site. Each chapter contains exercises, a
reading list and a simple discussion of the theory behind each of
the key areas covered by the manual. These include: defining elder
abuse recognizing elder abuse what to do when working with elder
abuse case conferences long term work with victims and abusers
abuse in institutions issues for managers case studies
