| Annotation | Key findings are presented from a study of adult protection referrals collected by two English local authorities from 1998 until 2005. Referrals were analysed for patterns relating to risk with client level data supplemented by information from local authority databases and from the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The analysis also examined associations between adult protection processes and outcomes, and looked at how adult protection monitoring data could be improved to better inform safeguarding management and practices at local and national levels. Sexual abuse was most frequently reported for people with intellectual disabilities who were also at higher risk of abuse when living out of area. Older people were most at risk of financial abuse in community settings and of neglect in residential care. The study identifies patterns of risk of abuse of older people and those with intellectual disabilities, and informs preventative interventions. It also indicates priorities for improving the quality and compatibility of adult protection monitoring data. (RH). |
