15th June 2019 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) #WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay
Is your organisation doing something to mark the day and raise awareness?
You could ask your colleagues to sign up to the Action on Elder Abuse Promise and send us a photo for social media (see below) or…
- Dress up in purple (designated colour)
- Raise funds for Action on Elder Abuse (the only specialist charity working with ‘elder abuse’)
- Talk to friends and adults who use your service about this issue
- Do a sponsored event (we have done a parachute jump and white water rafting in previous years….yes really!)
Shropshire Partners in Care wants to know what you are doing to mark WEAAD – get in touch! @SPICnews on Twitter and you can include the hashtags #WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay and #WEAAD or tag us on Facebook – Shropshire Partners in Care @ShropshirePartnersinCare
Action on Elder Abuse Promise
The PROMISE I make today to older people
And to the future generations who follow them
Today, tomorrow and forever
For you. And for me.
I promise
to prevent and stop elder abuse wherever I can
I promise
to never knowingly break the trust of an older person
I promise
to learn as much as possible about elder abuse
I promise to educate work colleagues, friends and family about elder abuse
