Supporting Older Victims of Domestic Abuse

Domestic Abuse: Older People

Older people experience domestic abuse, and the impact can be severe. Older people are often under-represented in services, and as such may remain hidden victims.

This workshop delivered by IDAS covers:

• Older people as hidden victims
• The issues and effects of domestic abuse on older people
• The complexities older people may experience in abusive situations
• The challenges of working with an older group of victims and the importance of adopting a tailored approach
• What domestic abuse services exist in Sheffield, and how they can help.

This workshop is relevant to staff and volunteers in children’s and adult services. Think Child. Think Adult. Think Family.
