AnnotationThe complexity of elder abuse is considered in the study by Kings College London and the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), 'UK study of abuse and neglect'. Another report by researchers at the University of Sheffield and the Social Care Workforce Research Unit, Kings College London -. 'Partnership and regulation in adult protection: the effectiveness of multi-agency working and the regulatory framework in adult protection', by Bridget Penhale et al - highlights the operational challenges of joint working in addressing the issues. Melanie Henwood concludes that in their own ways, these contrasting reports demonstrate the incidence and experience of abuse and mistreatment, and how statutory agencies respond. (RH)
