| Annotation | Following consultation on the Lord Chancellor's Office Green Paper, "Who decides? Decision making for people who lack mental capacity", no action had been taken to introduce legislation. This Action on Elder Abuse conference was held to highlight continuing problems and to explore possible changes. The conference aimed to: give an overview of financial abuse, its prevalence, and current legal protective mechanisms; examine the problems which exist with current protective mechanisms; demonstrate good practice; and highlight the current actions which can be taken when abuse has occurred. The role of the statutory, independent and voluntary sector and the legal system to assist older people who have been abused was examined. Speakers at the conference were Denzil Lush, Gordon Ashton, Jill Manthorpe and Terri Whittaker. (RH). |
