The training has also been adapted for groups of older people, people with physical disabilities and people who misuse substances.

This report outlines the literature on the preventing the abuse of vulnerable adults, from public awareness campaigns through to approaches that empower the individual to be able to recognise, address and report abuse. In addition, it examines policy and practice guidance and examples of emerging practice. This review began with a scope on data, literature and best practice on what is being done in relation to prevention strategies by local authorities. The scope was then expanded using reference harvesting and expert recommendation. Literature identified is discussed in the following sections: identifying people at risk of abuse; public awareness; information, advice and advocacy; training and education; policies and procedures; community links and community support; regulation and legislation; inter-agency collaboration; and empowerment and choice. Case studies of emerging good practice are included in the final section entitled emerging evidence.
