Of all adult abuse over half is directed at vulnerable elderly.

The Department of Health funded the charity Action on Elder Abuse to gather and review data about adult abuse.  After two years work they published their report Adult Protection Data Monitoring; Keith M Lewin from Brunswicks interviews those responsible for the report - the researcher, Daniel Blake, and the Chief Executive, Gary Fitzgerald about their findings and recommendations.
