The Ann Craft Trust Conference 2007

Is it abuse or just poor practice?

A one-day conference looking at how we define crime, abuse and poor practice. Recent inquiries will be reviewed and discussed and there will be an emphasis on everyday abuse that can become culturally acceptable within health care and residential services for vulnerable adults. This conference will be of interest to all professionals working with vulnerable adults in the statutory, independent and voluntary sectors.

The conference will include keynote presentations from Claudine McCreadie, Kings College, Professor Olive Stevenson and Professor Roger Clough, Lancaster University

Topics covered will include:

· Looking at how we define abuse
· What we can learn from recent inquiries
· The role of inspection
· The future of adult protection including the legislation debate
