| Annotation | In November 2002, a group of practitioners and managers from health and social care met at the Health Services Management Centre, University of Birmingham for a one-day seminar exploring issues around sexual abuse of people with learning difficulties. This issue of the Journal of Adult Protection comprises papers arising from the seminar. Alison Tarrant (formerly of MENCAP) explores the law relating to sexual abuse; and Guy Wishart (University of Birmingham) puts forward the case for a social model approach to our understanding of the term 'vulnerability'. Alan Corbett (Director, Respond) emphasises the importance of meeting the counselling and therapy needs of people with learning difficulties who have been sexually abused. Michelle McCarthy (Tizard Centre, University of Kent) explores the sexual experiences of women with learning difficulties, and the blurred nature of the boundary between consented and abusive sex. Publication of this issue of the Journal of Adult Protection coincides with debates in Parliament that relate to the themes discussed. (RH). |
