Exploring discriminatory abuse: Reporting on research evidence
Exploring discriminatory abuse: Reporting on research evidence
Delivered online using Teams
12:00 - 13:00 Thursday, 10 October 2024
A one-hour workshop will support practitioner knowledge around discriminatory abuse by introducing the policy and research base on this topic, drawing on findings from the Safeguarding Adults Reviews.
The workshop will explore outcomes from a recent research study (supported by Research in Practice), which used story completion methods to understand how practitioners may respond to different protected characteristics in divergent ways.
Practitioners will also be encouraged to consider their own practice throughout the workshop in order to translate the research messages into practical steps to support people who are experiencing discriminatory abuse.
Learning objectives
- Recognise and respond to discriminatory abuse as a social care practitioner.
- Identify practitioners’ different responses to safeguarding concerns for individuals with different characteristics.
- Situate discriminatory abuse in the wider context of increasing hate crime.
- Consider practice implications for their own context, drawing from the findings shared.

Discriminatory abuse – developing practice responses
This podcast explores what discriminatory abuse is and considers official statistics and wider research findings. It discusses how we can recognise potential discriminatory abuse, how discriminatory abuse features in Safeguarding Adult Reviews and what this means for developing our practice.
