AnnotationSocial Services Inspectorate (SSI) reports use common or related standards and often make explicit connections between apparently disparate areas of policy and practice. They are also a valuable source of evidence about local authority responses to problems such as elder abuse. This study uses all SSI reports published between 1994 and 1999 (since the report "No longer afraid", SSI, 1993) to examine that evidence, to present a summary of responses by local authority, to select and analyse examples of good practice, and to summarise SSI recommendations. The study also links findings to the research literature; and suggestions are made for further research. (RH).
