If you are an older person who is being harmed by the actions of someone else, such as a family member, friend, neighbour or carer, you may be experiencing elder abuse. Elder abuse is wrong. In some cases it may be a criminal offence. If you are an older person and this is happening, you may be the victim of elder abuse.
Elder abuse is any act which causes harm to an older person and occurs within an informal relationship of trust, such as family or friends. Elder abuse is not just about physical violence. It can include forms of financial, emotional, social and psychological abuse.
