| Annotation | The Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) welcomes the Prevalence survey report on elder abuse published in 2007 by King's College London and the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) on behalf of Comic Relief. CPA has been working with Help the Aged in supporting their work on financial exclusion among older people, and was commissioned to conduct a review of the literature on financial abuse. As part of its ongoing information work, the Centre has drawn together this briefing to highlight key points on financial abuse drawn from the reports and studies held in the CPA Library. It highlights key points on the various definitions, extent, recognition, prevention, legislation and regulation of financial abuse. It also points to the need to devise information, education, advice and advocacy services centred on older people's needs. (RH). |
