| Annotation | An escalating situation at one of Hanover Housing Association's extraCare schemes resulted in an abuse enquiry. This article sketches the situation and the action taken. Two key points emerge. First, in some circumstances, social services departments (SSDs) may opt not to get involved in situations of alleged abuse. Second, use of the term 'abuse' may sometimes be counterproductive. To protect identities, the names of the establishment and those involved have been changed. (RH). |
