Abstract

The UK government is expected to introduce new procedures to protect adults with learning difficulties who are sexually abused while in care. The changes would allow them to disclose incidents of abuse on pre-recorded videotape just as abused children can. New national guidelines, recommended by pressure group VOICE, on the sexual abuse of adults with learning difficulties in residential care are also expected.
