LO1 - Types and signs of abuse; Past Exam Questions

Read the following inspection report on Silverleaf College for Deaf Students

‘During an inspection, several shocking examples of abuse were seen at Silverleaf College for Deaf Students. Residents were harm by the very people who should have been caring for them. The leadership team didn’t take enough steps to prevent abuse, or to tackle a culture where vulnerable adults weren’t protected.

  • Vulnerable residents weren’t being supervised in a swimming pool (which was open to the public) + and no lifeguard was on duty
  • Serious medication errors had occurred, including a person being given a double dose of a sedative
  • There was no evidence that incidents were being recorded appropriately and being learned from
  • Residents were being teased for their physical and learning disabilities
  • When a resident ripped their shirt a member of staff hit the resident with the shirt and told them that their activities would be withdrawn
  • That a resident had a hot cup of tea placed on their arm
