Police show support for elder abuse campaign
Queensland Police are supporting this year’s elder abuse campaign.
The campaign is set to run until the end of this month and is focussed on highlighting the most common forms of elder abuse.
Elder abuse is a single or repeated act that occurs within a relationship of trust with an older person which causes them harm or distress.
Elder abuse can take many different forms including financial, emotional, sexual abuse and neglect.
Although this is a global problem, it can have local solutions.
Older people often face barriers and blockades that prevent them from seeking help themselves, so it is important that they have access to support when they need it.
The theme for this year’s campaign is:
“Elder abuse happens. Know the signs – make it stop.”
This year’s campaign is raising awareness about elder abuse so people have the information they need to be able to assist someone to access help, whether that be a family
