Elder abuse began to attract attention in the UK in the 1990s, following earlier concerns with child abuse and domestic violence. Initially, interest focused on domestic settings but institutional settings are now also being explored. This paper summarises what is currently known about this type of abuse, and about protection and prevention. It also discusses legislative responses, national guidance, local authority responses, the value of a multi-disciplinary approach, and good practice issues. Knowledge about the mistreatment of older people is still incomplete and more research is needed, together with the continuing development of professional standards, systems of accountability, and education and training (including of the general public).
