This training film focuses on the topic of abuse of adults with learning disabilities across all kinds of environments, including care homes, in supported accommodation or living in the community. It defines abuse in an intentionally broad way, not only including more extreme cases. Relevant legislation is summarised and the key definitions of 'vulnerable adult' and 'significant harm' are explained. It is intended to raise awareness among care workers in the statutory, voluntary or private sectors and can be used as an aid when undertaking Learning Disability Awards Framework (LDAF) training.
