Adult protection in professional care services: the role of the employer

Abstract

The characteristics and causes of adult abuse are under‐researched, so the opportunity to make recommendations for practice has been limited. Action to prevent or minimise abuse in care settings has to be informed by a reasoned view of causation if it is to be effective. This article describes a model of care quality and explores its relevance to abuse within professional care services.
