Unsafe practices in Hillcroft nursing home in Slyne-with-Hest near Lancaster (May 2010 – September 2011): In report it states that nursing home staff neglected, emotionally and physically abused a persons with lack of capacity under The Mental Capacity Act 2000 because they would have no memory of the abuse and they couldn’t report it by themselves. There are few examples of how abuse happen: deliberately tipping resident out of wheelchair, striking, slapping, mocking and bullying resident, pelting residents with bean bags and balls at their heads “for entertainment as abusers felt bored”, laughing about residents. Failures to protect individuals: • Failure from staff team to provide care, treatment and support that meets people's needs.
I can remember most of my early childhood being an infinite stretch of loneliness and a great sense of grief. That woman forced me through daily pains that no one should have to endure – I remember school being on par with hell, each day I was bullied and teased because I was forced to wear cheap, awkward clothes that didn’t fit. Her aim was to keep me humiliated, make me meek and be low maintenance. My time with her was an endless nightmare. I eventually got away.
It was this member of staff’s responsibility to report what was happening. His behaviour was inappropriate. Unsafe practices were also seen in the Orchid View case. There was multiple accounts of maltreatment to elderly people in this home, there was institutionalised abuse throughout the home which started at a very early stage and nobody did anything about it. The home was mismanaged and understaffed meaning that the
Patten learned at school that ‘one and one made two’. This metaphor is referring to love and how one person and another come together to make two. But at home it was a completely different story; Patten had parents who fought and didn’t take much interest in him, Patten’s home life ‘stung more than any teachers cane’ which shows the extent of how painful love came across to him. In his home life he learned that ‘one and one stayed one and one’. His parents actions when he was young left him with the idea that love and relationships are horrible and all it does is hurt us, he felt as if it’s not worth going through the pain and stress.
They wouldn’t even want to tell there sons and daughters because they were so sad and embarrassed. The website called’’livinghistoryfarm.org’’ internment in America, states that a Nisei named Kaz Tada that was 18 years old said, it was one of the worst places to live in experience. It was embarrassing and horrible.’’(paragraph 10 sentence three.) It’s really sad to hear this because I can’t even picture myself in there position it just seems too sad and humiliating. The Nisei was one of the generations that experienced Internment camps more.
My first report will be on the failure to protect Baby P. He suffered horrific abuse, yet the same social work department that was criticised in the Victoria Climbie case never took him into care despite a number of warning signals and injuries. The failure to protect Baby P was because of poor practice by health professionals, social workers, police and lawyers rather than systematic breakdown, a serious case review found. Professionals in the London borough of Haringey saw the boy 60 times before his death, caused by his mother and stepfather, and the inquiry found agencies communicated with each other and procedures were largely followed. However, there was a poor flow of information in some areas. Despite being on the child protection
It wiped out entire families while others were forced to dig the graves of their own family members. Morgues were so overwhelmed by the morality rates that bodies began to pile. Business in the U.S. came to a halt because of the amount workers stricken with the flu. Mail was not delivered and trash piled up due to sick workers. Crops could not be harvested because there were not enough workers and even state and local health departments shut down as a result.
ASS5 Katie Howard 23/01/11 Six Lives Description of the Incident The six people who died between the years of 2003 to 2005 were due to indifference. There was a recurrence of complaints that lead everyone to believe the quality of care in NHS and Social Services for people with learning disabilities is patchy and an indictment of our society. The Ombudsman, Jerry White, said ‘The six lives show that many occasions basic policy and guidance were not observed, the needs of people with learning disabilities were not accommodated and services were uncoordinated.’ There were investigations which found maladministration, service failure and un-remedied injustice in a number, but not all, there was 20 bodies that were investigated
My tears were uncontrollable. The endometriosis had torn me to pieces and I sat there completely shattered and desperate for somebody to help me. There was little help available. The consultant showed the same lack of empathy I had faced with my family and friends. I was advised this pain was now a part of my life and to move on I would need to learn to live with it.
In Raney’s mind, Charles was placing blame on her, her family, and specifically, her mother who spent most of her time taking care of Uncle Nate. This caused Raney to leave Charles and stay with her Aunt Flossie for a period of time. This incident opened both their eyes about their communication and conflict issues and forced them to come up with a way to deal with their problems before it leads to a failed marriage. Marriage counseling seemed to be the answer for them in order to take the steps to resolute their problems. Most young couples have not been through long-term relationships before marriage.
