| Annotation | The Department of Health (DH) document "No secrets" provides guidance on policies and procedures to protect vulnerable adults from abuse (POVA). Similarly, the National Assembly for Wales sets out the parallel framework in "The implementation of adult protection procedures in Wales". Nurses have responsibility for identifying possible abuse, and need to be aware of the possible risk factors. In the first of two articles, the author refers to "No secrets", to consider the role nurses can play in helping to prevent the abuse of vulnerable older people in community settings. (RH). |
