AnnotationThe Department of Health's "No secrets" and the National Assembly of Wales' "In safe hands" give guidance to local agencies with a responsibility to investigate and take action when a vulnerable adult is believed to be suffering abuse. This document provides advice on what action Alzheimer's Society branches need to do to ensure compliance with the "No secrets" and "In safe hands" recommendations. The guidelines it contains explain the nature of abuse and mistreatment that can take place when working with people with dementia and their carers.(RH).
