Abstract
Older men can and do experience abuse in various forms, even though men are more usually seen as perpetrators than victims. This paper argues that agencies must train their workers to acknowledge that men can be victims, not only of ‘husband‐battering’ but of other forms of abuse, too. Giving abused men ‘permission to speak’ is also vital.

Abstract
Project INISS was established on July 1st 1978 with a grant from the Department of Health and Social Security, and completed its work in October 1980. The aim of the project was to evaluate a number of small‐scale experimental innovations for the improvement of information services in social services departments. Three interviewing techniques were used: one to one, group and telephone interviews. This article describes these methods and offers guidelines for their suitability in particular situations.
