Principles of safeguarding and protection in Health and Social Care
1.1 Define the following types of abuse:
Physical abuse: is an act of another party involving contact intended to cause feelings of physical pain, injury, or other physical suffering or bodily harm
Sexual abuse: consists of a sexual act that is forced on one person by another. Sexual abuse can occur between two or more people of any age, but it particularly affects children, as children can never legally consent to a sexual act.
Emotional/ psychological abuse: involves actions that are designed to control, humiliate, subjugate or manipulate a person.
Financial abuse: abuse consists of actions that force a victim to be financially dependent on the abuser. In this form of abuse, the abuser cuts off the victim’s access to money and financial information.
Institutional abuse: it involves the collective failure of an organisation to provide an appropriate and professional service to vulnerable people. It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviour that amount to discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and stereotyping.
Self-neglect: it is the self-behaviour that results in the vulnerable adult’s basic needs not being met.
Neglect by others: failure to provide the necessities of life to an incapacitated adult or facility resident with the intent to coerce or physically harm the incapacitated adult or resident.
Neglect and Self neglect: Adults are neglected when a caregiver does not provide the essential daily living needs of an adult dependent upon them, for things such as food, clothing, shelter, bathing, medication, health care, and doctor visits. Self-neglect happens when an adult can no longer take care of their own basic daily living needs.
Signs and symptoms of neglect and self-neglect
Malnourishment
Dehydration
Confusion
Inappropriate clothing
Under or over medication
Skin sores
