Guidance: New harm and abuse booklets published by AEA Scotland
Action on Elder Abuse (AEA) Scotland has recently published two new booklets in partnership with Age Scotland.
‘Keeping safe from harm and abuse’ is a helpful guide for older people on the different types of harm and abuse, tips on protecting yourself and, information on what older people can do it they are experiencing harm, abuse or neglect.
The second booklet ‘Are you worried an older person is being harmed or abused?’ will be useful for anyone concerned about an older person, and includes information on spotting the signs of abuse, helping people understand why an older person might be reluctant to speak up, and what they can do to help.
