“…More recently, disturbing levels of abuse have been revealed not only within the few remaining NHS hospitals for people with learning disabilities (CSCI andHC 2006, 2007), but also within supported living services (CSCI and HC 2006). Hopes that smallerscale provision, and the development of services 'in ordinary houses, in ordinary streets' would lead automatically to a reduction in abuse have been without foundation: cultures of abuse can develop regardless of the size of institution involved (Cambridge 1999;Clement and Bigby 2010). Despite significant changes in the structure and geography of service provision, people with learning disabilities continue to experience higher levels of abuse than other adult members of society, including other recipients of adult social care services.…”

“…These abuses began with the development of segregated long stay 'mental handicap' hospitals, where abuse could flourish away from the public eye, but the demise of large-scale institutions has not led to the hoped-for concomitant reduction in abuse (Fyson, Kitson, and Corbett 2004). As the resettlement of people with learning disabilities from hospitals into community-based services gathered pace in the 1980s and 1990s, evidence began to emerge of the abuse of people with learning disabilities living in residential care homes (Buckinghamshire County Council 1998;Cambridge 1999). More recently, disturbing levels of abuse have been revealed not only within the few remaining NHS hospitals for people with learning disabilities (CSCI andHC 2006, 2007), but also within supported living services (CSCI and HC 2006).…”

“…Research into the context where interpersonal violence against people with disabilities occurs has focused largely on institutional or congregate settings (Cambridge, 1999;Crossmaker, 1991;McCarthy & Thompson, 1996) and private residences whereby the perpetrator is an intimate partner (Brownridge, 2006;Coker et al, 2005;Smith, 2007), family member, or paid care provider (Matthias & Benjamin, 2003;Oktay & Tompkins, 2004;Powers et al, 2002;Saxton et al, 2001;Saxton et al, 2006). Little attention has been paid to geographic context, particularly the rural community context, and relevance for understanding interpersonal violence against people with disabilities.…”

“…Whilst the connection between abuse and congregate care for people with learning disabilities has been repeatedly identified in the academic literature (McCarthy & Thompson, 1996;Cambridge, 1999;Marsland et al, 2007), relatively little is known about staff responses to such abuse. Moreover, there is a perception that although care staff are aware that abuse can and does occur in their industry, they have a tendency to distance themselves from such occurrences.…”
