| Annotation | The second part of this article covers recognising abuse, POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) policies and procedures, employing and training the right people, and dealing with an incident of abuse. As always, the overwhelming lesson is that prevention is better than cure: service providers must take steps to ensure that their organisations have sufficient safeguards in place to prevent abusers from gaining employment, and to ensure that staff receive effective training.
