Aileen Fraser Nurse consultant older people, Bristol Primary Care Trust
In the UK, we are still at an early stage in the development of the adult procedures. No Secrets (Department of Health 2000), the national guidance on policy, is currently being reviewed and this is an opportunity to improve our prevention of, and response to, the abuse of vulnerable people. Steering groups have met around the country to find out how the policy is working and how it can be improved.
