THE ABUSE OF VULNERABLE ADULTS

 

Sexual abuse can occur regardless of age 

Sexual abuse, regardless of the victim's age, can inflict deep emotional and physical scars. It's imperative for organizations to grasp the nuances between the sexual abuse of children and that of adults to prevent and manage such incidents under their jurisdiction proactively.

This white paper aims to shed light on these distinctions, dispel common myths surrounding the vulnerability of adults to sexual abuse, and explain critical terms related to inappropriate adult interactions.

In this paper, you will learn:

  • Challenges and patterns of adult sexual abuse in healthcare, elder care, and social services;
  • Strategies for preventing, addressing, and following up on adult sexual abuse incidents for a thorough response;
  • Insights into one organization's proactive strategies to mitigate the risk of adult-to-adult abuse;
  • And more.

Helping Your Organization Provide a Safer Environment

It's clear that adults may encounter greater dangers when accessing essential services critical for their survival and well-being. It's crucial to guarantee the safety of individuals in pursuit of professional services, care, or support from those they trust, protecting them against all forms of abuse.

By acknowledging abuse risks in areas like elder care, healthcare, and social services, organizations can work towards creating safer, more supportive spaces for all service users.

A Critical Line of Defense

Background checks serve as a crucial line of defense against potential threats. By evaluating an individual's past, we gain valuable insights into their character and history. This information allows organizations to take proactive measures to maintain the safety and well-being of their communities. With background screening, we empower organizations to create a strong and reliable defense system.
