The abuse of a vulnerable person, whether the victim is a child or an adult, tears at the fabric of family and community life and has far-reaching consequences. A serious incident of abuse can undermine years of dedicated service by an organization, and can lead to declining business, low morale, and a diminished sense of confidence within the community. In the end, it is not just the victims that suffer, but also the people who have committed their lives to caring for them.
