| Annotation | This report asks whether abuse in care homes is inevitable, and why older people still suffer at the hands of those who are paid to offer a safe environment. It outlines training programmes run by Counsel and Care, gives some examples of accounts of instances of abuse, and discusses what needs to be done to prevent or deal with abuse. The report lists recommendations on policies, procedures and practices for consideration by home managers, staff, residents, relatives and friends, inspectors, local and health authorities (in their role as purchasers), central government, and voluntary organisations. |
