TASK 11: Reasons why an individual or a group may be vulnerable to abuse or harm to self or others_2
INTRODUCTIONAbuse can happen to anyone, at anytime and anywhere. No one has any control over it.The alarming situation is that more of adults or elderly age people are suffering from variouskinds of abuses every day. These adults are treated badly not only in their homes but also in theircare facilities which are also called as nursing home, care home, etc. Generally, old people aredependent on other people and that is why they bear all this torture and pain and does notcomplain at all which other people take advantage of (Blane, Rhodes and Ward, 2010). Thisreport discusses about the case study of Ms. Bridget who is 82 years old and living with herfriend Mr. Y. It is noticed several times that Mr. Y tortures and abuses Ms. Bridget very much.He only wants the property of her. This report will discuss about the factors that contribute toincidence of abuse and harm, current legislation and policies associated with abuse in health andsocial care as well as working practices and strategies used to minimum abuse. TASK 11.1 Reasons why an individual (Ms. Bridget) or a group may be vulnerable to abuse or harm toself or othersIt is very much obvious to feel vulnerable to abuse or harm to self and others becausenormally, elderly people are dependent on others or need help of others to do their daily work.These kinds of people are kept under continuous guidance of care workers so that they would nothurt themselves and others as well. People normally feel vulnerable when they do not feel thatthey can protect themselves from the people who will harm them. So, people take advantage ofsuch situations and continue harming people. There are various categories of people that are vulnerable to abuse. It is divided into fourtypes which are like vulnerable individuals in which generally elderly people are considered whoare suffering from any kind of physical or mental disability. Other one is Vulnerable Groups inwhich it is said that people of several backgrounds are brought to some place by force and lateron abuse them. As per the given case, it can be said that Ms. Bridget was feeling vulnerable from Mr. Yas he was not behaving well with her and not giving her time as well (Barlow and Calam, 2011).Also, the behaviour of Mr. Y towards the hospital staff was also not good. So many concernswere raised towards him. Mr. Y also started doing emotional abuse towards Ms. Bridget and waskeeping complete control over her and was also not allowing her to meet her friends as well.1
