Research article: staff understandings of abuse & poor practice in residential settings for adults with intellectual disabilities

This research article by Rachel Fyson and Anne Patterson investigates staff understandings of abuse and poor practice in residential settings for adults with intellectual disabilities (ID).

In this context, the authors explore staff understandings of abuse and poor practice in residential services for people with intellectual disabilities.
