Presented by Beatrice Vann, ACT Disability, Aged and Carer Advocacy Service, Older Persons Team
1pm to 2pm AEST
Cost: FREE
Whilst much attention is paid to the safeguarding of children and young people, there is growing awareness of the abuse of older people in residential care and in family and community settings. Aged and Disability Service providers have a duty of care to make sure their services are safe and to reduce the risk of abuse. They also have responsibility to respond to abuse whether committed by fellow residents, staff, volunteers or family members.
The webinar will explore these emerging risks and ways to respond. Beatrice will explore the role of advocacy in protecting our older Australians. The right of vulnerable adults to live free of abuse is our collective responsibility.
