Raising Public Awareness of Elder Abuse Within Communities

Age Action, in conjunction with the Co. Wicklow Network for Older People, held two public workshops on elder abuse in Arklow and Delganey in Oct/Nov 2012. Here, Age Action senior policy officer Dr Emer Begley and the HSE's Dedicated Officer for the Protection of Older People, Sarah Mahon (pictured), talk about elder abuse and the reason for the workshops. The events were funded by the Equality Authority. For more information on elder abuse visit http://www.bityurl.com/HSEelderabuse #elderabuse
