This report makes use of local SSI inspection reports to connect findings on different inspection topics. It originates in the recognition that standards relating to the abuse of older people, both in their own homes and in residential settings, have been used in a range of inspections since 1994. The overall aim of the study is to examine the evidence about responses to the problem of elder abuse, as revealed in the SSI reports. The report then selects and analyses examples of good practice (focusing in particular on prevention and protection), summarises SSI findings, links the findings to the research literature, and makes suggestions for further research.
