N2 - This chapter considers some of the particular issues around safeguarding older adults. Beginning with a review of research evidence, it highlights the complexity of relationships which may often be felt as both abusive and caring, which presents particular ethical challenges for professionals in striking a balance between protection from harm and the potential erosion of key personal and social supports Acknowledging a dearth of research relating to the abuse of older people, it then reports on findings from a focus group carried outwith carers, providing rich and honest insights into the lived experiences of caring set against the legal framework.
