Provides an understanding of the professional practice in social and health care. This book examines abuse of vulnerable adults and the ways in which social policy, welfare services and practitioners may compound or alleviate vulnerability. It includes coverage of social work, social care settings and vulnerable adults.

Adopting an interdisciplinary framework in recognition of the range of domestic and institutional settings in which elder abuse can occur, this book both explains the nature of this under-reported and little understood problem and addresses the vital question of how practitioners can best work towards its prevention.
