| Annotation | Research about the abuse of older people has focused on definition, prevalence and incidence. There has been little research into how to work with older victims. This project aimed to identify older women who had been the victims of of abuse, to review their life experiences, and to give expression to their past and present needs. It is based on qualitative research undertaken in three social service departments (SSDs) in the North of England. In-depth interviews were carried out with 27 older women who had been victims of elder abuse. Focus groups were run with more than 300 older people, and social workers and other social care staff were also interviewed and participated in focus groups. This is a summary of Jacki Pritchard's report on the project, published for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) by the Policy Press, as part of the Community care into practice series. (RH). |
