The present research reportpredicts about the conditions of adults and children's that are more prone to abuse and harm.Main objective of the study is to create an insight of the main factors of abuse and strategies aswell as working practices to minimise the same. Several acts have been introduced in the reportsuch as Safeguarding Vulnerability and Care Standard so as to protect the interest of the people.Likewise, it has been demonstrated that emotional, financial, psychological, neglect, sexual arethe main factors which cause harm or abuse to others (Fleming, 2015). TASK 1A1.1There are certain people in the united kingdom that are prone to the vulnerable abuse byseveral other people. It is an act wherein the people are likely to take advantage of those personthat are not in their state to react to the harm or damage made by the others. Some of the majorreasons behind vulnerable abuse to adults have been enlisted underneath:Communication factor: This is the major reason which give rise to the vulnerability ofabuse in adults as well as other groups. Some people have the problem of communicatingwith other persons about the harm or abuse being made to them (Webber, McCree andAngeli, 2013). For instance, there are small toddlers or kids that are being physicallyabused by the people but are not in the state to speak or demonstrate their problems toothers. This increases the amount of vulnerability in the country.Social isolation: Some of the people stay away from the society. This means that they arenot in connection with any other persons or relatives. They cannot discuss their problemswith anyone. This give rise to vulnerability abuse by the other persons. For instance, itcan be analysed that elderly age people are more prone to isolation as they cannot moveto other place and interact with the persons who can better understand their problems.Dependency: Another essential factor that give rise to the abuse and neglect by thepeople is dependency. In reference to the present case scenario, the old lady is dependenton his Son for food and money (Gutmann, 2013). This gave rise to the vulnerability to1
abuse by the young son. Moreover, it can be ascertained that the children are sometimesdependent on their parents or guardians which may even cause abuse and neglect.Likewise, the elderly age persons are entirely interdependent on their young teens so as totake care of them and provide them with food and shelter which may further cause abuseby the youngsters (Brodie and Knight, 2014).Physical conditions: As per the scenario of Mrs. JK, the lady was 71 years old and doesnot have the capacity to take his own care and neither have the capability to step out ofthe house in search of help. While on the other hand, his son was young and quite strongwhich cause vulnerable abuse due to demand for money for drugs (Peckover, 2013).Likewise, children are more weak and does not have the capability to move out anddemand for help which cause abuse and harm.Mental capacity: A person of unsound mind may cause harm to others. These peoplecomprises of mentally ill, children, unsound mind and depressed. They are more prone toabuse and harm by others as they are not in the state to make any decisions or actproperly. In addition to the above, Mrs. JK was also not in the state to think and react.She was depressed and his Son took the advantage of the situation.However, there are numerous kinds of abuse including physical, neglect, sexual, emotional,financial, social, etc. Therefore, the person vulnerable to abuse can harm their near and dear onesas well as to one self. It can be in form of cutting themselves, harming or burning their body,consume to much of medicines. All these is likely to affect the health of the person. In additionto this, they may even beat others and mentally destroy the person. Abuse is a violation of anindividual's human and civil rights by any other person or persons.
