This paper summarises the findings of a research study involving a group of care managers in a northern town, where multi-disciplinary guidelines, based on the care management framework, have been introduced for staff to follow when the abuse of older people is suspected or confirmed. The paper explores how care managers are addressing issues of identification, assessment and intervention in cases of suspected or confirmed abuse of older people; and to what extent issues of age, race gender and ability/disability influence decision making. The advantages and disadvantages of the care management model as applied to abuse of older people are discussed; and focus is given to the disjunction between guidelines, which recommend a standard response, and individual practice, which was found to differ widely in emphasis. Finally, it points to how future preventive strategies can be developed
