AnnotationCurrent research reveals how much remains to be done in tackling the abuse of vulnerable adults in residential care, whether by staff, by other residents, or by "the system". The author examines articles from a special edition of the Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect (vol 10, nos 1 and 2, 1999) on residential settings, and chapters by Les Bright, Roger Clough and Frank Glendenning from Stanley, Manthorpe and Penhale's book, "Institutional care" (Routledge, 1999). Bright's report, "Harm's way" (Counsel and Care, 1997) is cited for comparison, as his research had sought the views of residents, relatives and carers. These examples all provide useful guidance, and the article suggests points for practice. (RH).
