| Annotation | Some 500000 older people are believed to be abused at any one time in the UK. Help the Aged believes that every older person has the fundamental right to live free from the fear of abuse and neglect. In January 2006, Help the Aged in partnership with Action on Elder Abuse (AEA), launched a campaign to tackle elder abuse. This policy statement outlines issues and evidence, and lists the steps that Help the Aged believes need to be taken for government to tackle the problem, and to raise public awareness. An accompanying leaflet "Stopping elder abuse" and poster "Don't stay silent" have been issued as campaign materials. (KJ/RH). |
