What's the nature of your enquiry?

The World Health Organisation defines Elder Abuse as a single, or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust which causes harm or distress to an older person.  Elder abuse can take various forms such as physical, psychological or emotional, sexual and financial abuse.  It can also be the result of intentional or unintentional neglect.
