Ruth Ingram was a psychiatric Social Worker and subsequently a
lecturer in mental health and group dynamics at Southampton
University and subsequently the University of the South Bank. She
did a part-time course in screen printing, textiles and embroidery,
and for many years exhibited textiles in various small galleries
together with colleagues, and subsequently in her own home in
support of Greenpeace and Oxfam. Concurrently she attended the
Poetry School London for several years . Her translations from
German poetry have been published by Modern Poetry in Translation,
the Fenland Reed, Kites, and Hearing Eye. She organizes a
translation workshop in her own home (translating from French and
German) on a bi-monthly basis which has been running for 15 years.
There is no fee, but prospective members are asked too submit 3 or
4 poems in their translation from either French or German. The
group has produced two anthologies: a Over the Watera and a Across
Frontiersa both available from the Poetry Library at the South Bank
London.
This is a practical and trans-disciplinary guide for professionals
working with vulnerable adults, who include the frail elderly,
those with mental-health problems or physical disabilities,
learning disabilites or serious physical illness.;The contributors
address key problems and dilemmas in working to protect these
groups from abuse, and to support those who have already
experienced abuse or neglect. They consider the procedural
implications of the latest Department of Health guidance on working
with vulnerable adults, and make practical suggestions for working
with both victims and abusers.;Highlighting the importance of
inter-agency working, the contributors show how the related fields
of child abuse, domestic violence and adult abuse can come together
to promote increased understanding and good practice. With its
emphasis on effective practice and contributions from social work,
general-medical practice, criminal justice and adult protection,
this collection should provide a useful resource for students,
practitioners, service managers and policy makers in all sectors.
