Title

Elder Abuse - Family Agreements
Subtitle Community Education Programme
Abstract

Northern Suburbs CLC's specialist legal service, the Older Peoples Rights Service, found that approximately 70% of their elder abuse cases involved Family Agreements.


The CLC conducted 23 workshops and offered community education on elder abuse: “Family Agreements and Elder Abuse”.

These sessions complemented the recently released topic sheet “Family Agreements: Knowing your Rights and responsibilities”, jointly produced publication with the Department for Communities.
