Key issues
- Systematic invisibility – older people are not being represented in domestic abuse services
- Long term abuse and dependency issues
- Generational attitudes about abuse may make it hard to identify
- Increased risk of adult family abuse
- Services are not effectively targeted at older victims, and do not always meet their needs
- Need for more coordination between services
