Domestic Abuse in Later Life.
Carrie Bower is the Domestic Lead at Age UK.
Many older victims don't recognise themselves as such, and national statistics are likely to underestimate the extent of the issue. The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 recognises the need for services to "avoid making assumptions about a victims condition or health based on Age."
This workshop will focus on how we can improve our recognition and response to Older Victims of Domestic Abuse in Cheshire East.
