The review drew on the experience of people who receive care in their own homes, organisations representing carers, and statutory agencies including frontline professionals.
The review developed a set of cross-government actions for implementing change over 3 key themes:
-
Strengthening accountability and oversight mechanisms to better protect and support victims.
-
Strengthening training and guidance so this type of harm and relevant legislative protections are better understood by frontline professionals.
-
Improving the data and evidence available about this type of harm.
