| Annotation | The "No secrets" guidance from the Department of Health (DH, 2000), together with the Home Office's "Action for justice" (1999) provide the context for this multi-disciplinary guide for professionals and care staff working with vulnerable adults. Contributors consider the needs and problems of those who who have suffered from abuse in earlier life, domestic violence, neglect, mental health problems, and alcohol-related problems. The problems and dilemmas of those working to protect these groups - the police, general practitioners (GPs), medical practitioners, registration and inspection officers, and social workers - are discussed. The importance is highlighted both of inter-agency working and of the role of citizen advocacy. (RH). |
