Why it took so long to expose the abusive regime at Longcare
275
Abstract
In 1994, a leaked Buckinghamshire County Council report revealed that, for more than 10 years, former social worker Gordon Rowe had been beating, raping and neglecting the adults with learning difficulties who lived in the residential homes run by his company, Longcare. This paper explains how Rowe's regime was able to continue undetected for so long.
