Financial abuse: Financial abuse is the illegal or unauthorised use of a person’s money, property, pension book or other valuables
Institutional abuse: Institutional abuse involves failure of an organisation to provide appropriate and professional individual services to vulnerable people. It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviour that amount to discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness, stereotyping and rigid systems.
Self-neglect: Self-neglect is a behavioural condition in which an individual neglects to attend to their basic needs, such as personal hygiene, feeding, clothing, or medical conditions they might have.
Neglect by others: Neglect is a passive form of abuse in which the wrongdoer is responsible to provide care, for someone, who is unable to care for oneself, but fails to provide adequate care to meet their needs. Neglect may include failing to provide sufficient supervision, nourishment, medical care or other needs.
1.2 Identify the signs and/ or symptoms associated with each type of abuse.
Physical Abuse: Injuries that are the shape of objects
Injuries in a variety of stages or injuries that have not received medical attention
A person being taken too many different places to receive medical attention
Skin infections
