How did the abuse at Oakden remain hidden for so long? And what finally brought it to light?
In this episode we discuss:
- why families might not complain
- how small, isolated outposts can hide terrible things
- the importance of following up on things that don’t feel quite right.
Intro grab from the RN Background Briefing episode A Failure to Care: The Oakden Nursing Home, featuring Lorraine Baff, whose father was a patient at Oakden.
You can find the full ICAC Report into Oakden here, and the Chief Psychiatrist report here.
This podcast was recorded on Kaurna land, and we recognise Kaurna elders past and present. Always was, always will be.
Now for some appropriately bureaucratic disclaimers....
While we have tried to be as thorough in our research as busy full time jobs and lives allow, we definitely don’t guarantee that we’ve got all the details right.
