This campaign report looks at the extent of domestic abuse experienced by older people in England and Wales and the barriers that older people can face in reporting abuse. It includes case studies of victims and survivors to highlight the different types of abuse older people can experience. They include the cases of older people who have been abused by their carers, partners, and adult children. The report calls on the Government to ensure that the needs of older people are included in new legislation addressing domestic abuse. Specifically, it calls for: changes to the definition of domestic abuse; additional training for health care practitioners to improve recognition of abuse; the collection of data on domestic abuse for all ages; and for better links between the NHS and police to ensure older victims of abuse are properly supported and protected.
