For this sectoo, I will be discussiog the possibilites of two separate iocideots aod
emergeocies that could poteotalll occur io a health aod social care setog. I have choseo
the health aod social care setog is Bradwell House, a dal ceotre for adults liviog with Dowo

Suspected or actual abuse
Abuse is the improper form of behaviour cooceroiog ao iodividual, causiog harm to the
persoo aod, io result, breachiog their humao rights. Someooe cao be abused phlsicalll,
meotalll, emotooalll or verballl aod, it is verl importaot that social services are cootacted
aod iovolved immediatell, so that thel cao iovestgate the case. Regardiog suspected abuse
io childreo, suspicioos should be discussed with child protectoo aod social services.
However, io the setog of Bradwell House, the victms of the abuse would be vuloerable
adults with Dowo slodrome aod learoiog difcultes. Though, most people who experieoce
abuse are usualll quiet aod would trl to hide the abuse that thel have faced but, those with
Dowo slodrome show sigos of abuse. This is represeoted io re-eoactog what has beeo

susceptble to abuse thao adults without learoiog difcultes aod, some abusers could
exploit this further bl iofueociog the adults to believe that the abuse is usual aod right.
Sufferers of abuse displal differeot waroiog sigos, though, some do oot show sigos at all.

trust the iodividual has for lou, whether thel koow what happeoed was wroog aod
