For professionals working across older people’s housing, retirement living and sheltered housing, recognising the signs isn’t always straightforward. Abuse may be hidden behind assumptions about family relationships, caring arrangements, finances, health or simply what is considered “normal” within a long-standing relationship.
Housing professionals can be in a unique position to notice when something doesn’t feel right. Knowing what to look for, how to respond appropriately and where to seek further support can make a significant difference.
Erosh members can access our Good Practice Guide on domestic abuse, developed to support professionals working with older people and help organisations consider their own practice, policies and response.
If you’re already an erosh member, you can access the guide through the members’ area.
