Literature review on the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of adults with disability and older people by carers Timothy Broady, Catherine Thomson, Ilan Katz and Sarah Judd-Lam - UNSW Social Policy Research Centre, 2024 - electronic document (32 pages) ; PDF file
Prepared for the Ageing and Disability Commission, April 2024
With funding from the Department of Communities and Justice, the NSW Ageing and Disability Commission (ADC) commissioned the Social Policy Research Centre (SPRC) at
UNSW, in partnership with Carers NSW, to conduct the ADC Carers Project. The aim of the project is to provide the ADC with clear evidence-based findings, recommendations, and
advice to inform their work with carers of adults with disability and older people. Specifically, the research is designed to inform the handling of future reports about abuse, neglect and
exploitation by the ADC, ways for the ADC and service systems to better support carers, and opportunities for early intervention and prevention strategies.
This report presents the findings from the literature review. This review investigates risk factors associated with neglect, abuse and exploitation of older people and adults with disability and evidence of good practice to guide the development of resources to improve communications with and support to carers. (From the Introduction). Record #8793
