| Annotation | About £2.1 million was stolen in 2006 from older people in financial scams often involving family members and home care workers. This article reports and comments on the findings on financial abuse in the 'UK study of abuse and neglect of older people' (National Centre for Social Research - NatCen, 2007). The role of the police, banks and social workers in recognising incidents of abuse and their perpetrators is highlighted. (RH). |
