Faith communities can play a critical role in the prevention of elder abuse and neglect by fostering heightened public awareness of elder mistreatment, as well as providing services to abused elders in the community. Faith leaders are among the most likely groups of caregivers to encounter cases of elder abuse, but unfortunately not all are aware of ways of identifying and effectively dealing with abuse. Religious leaders require training to educate them about elder abuse issues to identify the important roles they can play in prevention, intervention and treatment. Pastoral workers and theology students should also be exposed to educational concepts regarding this problem. In an age of ecumenism and interfaith movements, religious leaders must become a conduit for the well-being and safety of older adults. This paper discusses exploratory work undertaken in Ontario, funded by Health Canada (Ontario Region), the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and Justice Canada to begin to uncover the extent to which faith leaders are aware of instances of elder abuse, and what they might see as their role in addressing such problems in their faith communities. A thorough literature review suggests that while considerable attention has been paid to the issue of elder abuse, researchers have not focused on the role of faith leaders in addressing this complex problem.

This study, conducted by Ryerson University, The Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse, Older Women's Network, and the Centre for Applied Research (Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto) examines faith leaders' perceptions of elder abuse, the actions taken by them in response to suspected or disclosed situations of elder abuse, and their knowledge and understanding of resources and services available for elder abuse intervention. Survey data was collected using an instrument that contained both open and closed-ended questions. The results of the study revealed that two-thirds of the clergy interviewed knew of, or suspected elder mistreatment among their parishioners. Faith leaders identified lack of education about elder mistreatment, lack of knowledge and/or skill in intervention techniques and confidentiality issues as barriers to responding effectively to the abuse of elders.

One of six briefings to share evaluation findings and lessons from a project to explore the impacts of community led support across the UK. Community led support is a place-based approach to achieving change in health and social care services, through working closely with local communities and partners in the voluntary, community, business and public sectors. The paper draws on analysis of the second round of evaluation across sites who joined the programme between 2014-15 and 2018-19. It highlights ten priority actions to help to achieve, implement and sustain community led support. Key factors for success include knowing what works and doesn’t work in each place, what other related developments are already in place (such as Local Area Coordination, social prescribers and wellbeing coordinators), who the local players are right across the system (including in the community) and how best to work respectfully alongside them.

A resource to support organisations in local areas to take a public health approach to serious violence prevention. The approach advocates a whole system multi-agency approach that is place-based and incorporates public health principles. The resource sets out key principles which local partners can adopt to work together to prevent violence and help them look at the needs of their populations and work out how to meet them. These principles consist of 5 component parts which are: collaboration, co-production, co-operation in data and intelligence sharing, counter-narrative development, and community consensus. The approach can be applied to the complex police, health, local government and social care landscape in England. It is intended for a wide range of stakeholders, including the police, local authorities, local safeguarding children boards, multi-agency partnerships, such as community multi-agency risk assessment conference (MARAC), and NHS England health and justice commissioners.

This paper assesses the impact of two pilot leadership development workshops. It tests the potential of an evidence and Place-based transformational Leadership Development (P-BLD) framework for building leader and leadership capabilities across sectors and for acting as a catalyst for collaborative action within an Intersectoral Urban Violence Prevention program (IUVP) in Nakuru County, Kenya. The P-BLD framework deliberately surfaces and works with the inherent tensions in intersectoral collaboration. By challenging assumptions, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours it has started to overcome a history of distrust and engender a mindset shift amongst participants. It is argued that the P-BLD framework and IUVP are mutually reinforcing which when merged have increased potential for developing an advanced state of collaboration, a stronger sense of common purpose and collective empowerment. The evidence from this research and practice demonstrates the validity of applying this approach to support peace builders in reducing violence across different countries and other policy areas where there is a shared intersectoral and territorial context. This strongly supports Lee et al.'s (2016: S24) contention that some of Latin America's most violent areas have achieved considerable reductions in urban violence by focusing on “places, people and behaviours” which means changing inter-relational attitudes and values.

The results of a quarterly survey of chief executives, leaders and council mayors from local authorities across the UK, which asked about their level of confidence in key service areas and wider indicators of community wellbeing. This report focuses on findings in the following areas: the impact of Brexit on community cohesion; Confidence trends in the local economy, service delivery and community wellbeing; and the cost of under investment in prevention. The survey found that Councils are spending almost half as much as they would like on prevention as a proportion of councils' overall expenditure. However, there was an increase in councils' confidence in their powers and resources to deliver key services including adult social care and housing services. The survey is based on a total of 161 complete responses, which translates to a 20.4 per cent response rate.

Interim report summarising key findings from six local system reviews, carried out to examine how health and adult social care work together. The report looks at the planning, commissioning and delivery of health and social care services across the areas of: system leadership; maintaining the wellbeing of a person in their usual place of residence; care and support when people experience a crisis; and step down services, return to usual place of residence and/or admission to new place of residence. Based on the first six reviews, the findings show a strong commitment from organisations and staff working across health and social care services to provide seamless services for older people needing care and support. However there are still too many examples where care is fragmented and people are often uncertain about who is coordinating their care. The report identifies three themes that could act as a barrier to integration: how providers and commissioners work together; capacity, market supply and workforce issues; and, the need to look beyond delayed transfers of care in isolation to resolve the problems that local systems are facing. It also highlights areas for priority action and emerging themes that should be address at a national level.

Sets out a commitment to transform the health and social care system in Northern Ireland to ensure: people are supported to make informed choices and take control of their own health and wellbeing; have access to safe, high quality care when they need it and are treated with dignity, respect and compassion; staff are empowered and supported to do what they do best; and services are efficient and sustainable for the future. The proposed changes aim to build capacity in communities and in prevention to reduce inequalities and ensure the next generation is healthy and well; provide more support in primary care to enable more preventive and proactive care, and earlier detection and treatment of physical and mental health problems; reform community and hospital services so that they are organised to provide care when and where it is needed; and ensure that the administrative and management structures make it easier for staff to look after the public, patients and clients. Key components of this approach include: partnership work, improving quality and safety, investing in the workforce, leadership and culture, and ehealth and better use of technology.
