Economic Abuse in Later Life

This training session is suitable for professionals, volunteers, carers, and members of the public. They are also relevant for those working in health, social care, safeguarding, criminal justice, housing, community support, or voluntary organisations.

No previous knowledge is required. Each session is designed to be accessible and engaging, while still offering depth and practical insights for professionals.

You will gain a clear understanding of key definitions and legislation. Learn to recognise signs of abuse affecting older people. Feel more confident in supporting older victim-survivors. Be able to signpost individuals to specialist support and receive a certificate.

We use case studies, breakout discussions, and reflective exercises. You’ll have opportunities to share your thoughts and learn from others, but participation is always optional.

You’ll leave with practical tools to identify risks and warning signs in older people’s lives. Challenge myths and stereotypes about abuse in later life. Build confidence in “reaching in” and offering help and establish referral pathways to Hourglass and other support services.
