This paper discusses how Kent Social Services addresses situations in which one vulnerable adult abuses another. This can challenge professional competencies and open up services to outside investigation but, say the authors, a punitive approach will undermine efforts to ensure that abuse by service users is recognised and dealt with appropriately.

An escalating situation in one of Hanover Housing Association's extra Care schemes resulted in an abuse enquiry. This article sketches the situation and the action taken. Two key points emerge: in some circumstances, social services departments may opt not to get involved in situations of alleged elder abuse; and use of the term ‘abuse’ may sometimes be counterproductive. Names have been changed to protect identities.
