| Annotation | It is unclear why less is known about elder abuse in ethnic communities than is known about abuse in general. Presentations at this conference were multi-disciplinary in nature, representing health, social services, social care, legal and voluntary sector professions. Papers covered elder abuse in Asian, Chinese, Jewish and Polish communities, as well as in minority ethnic groups generally. Points for action arising from the conference include: the need for focused research, information and training; partnership building and joint working between the authorities and minority ethnic groups; identifying, training and deploying advocates on elder abuse; challenging stereotypes and assumptions; and establishing a multi-disciplinary working group on elder abuse within minority ethnic groups. The report also includes a review of US literature. (RH). |
