Types of Abuse and Neglect – Signs and Indicators

Types of Abuse and Neglect – Signs and Indicators

You should be able to identify the different types of abuse and neglect and the signs or ‘indicators’ that they are happening. The more you are able to get to know someone, the more you are likely to notice any changes. In workplaces where care and support are short term, this can be more difficult, but you should still look out for any signs or indicators.

There are ten main types of abuse or neglect. Incidents may be one-off or multiple, and affect one person or more. Workers should look beyond single incidents or individuals to identify patterns of harm.
