Abstract:

Policy guidance used by professionals in health and social care to safeguard older people from abuse is arguably inadequate. This paper explores the ideological context in which policy has developed and asks if there is a need for a statutory response to protect vulnerable older people from abuse. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.
