Abuse in adult social care and how this is related to the arbitrary values of staff and the dark side of human nature. The importance of positive behaviour support and humanistic philosophies are discussed throughout as a guide to preserving a nurturing environment. Includes examples of abuse uncovered by the UK media after whistleblowing procedures proved ineffective. Care providers with excellent training provide suffering when staff and management fail to make it part of their own value system. Examines subtle abuse. The liberties taken by staff indicating a culture of abuse is developing. A dark book, even cynical at times, but unafraid to acknowledge the challenge facing those who hold social care values as sacred. A part of the 'Rant' Series.
