I'm resharing this petition started by @GilesRocholl. My research shows an average of at least 100 incidents against older people a year in NHS Hospitals in England #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7365…

Given my research in this area highlighted a horrifying number of incidents on older patients, I'm supporting this petition

It's taken 7 years to get this inquest result, how long will it take for justice? The perpetrator most likely worked, or still works, in the NHS. My research shows around 100 incidents every year itv.com/news/granada/2…

@DailyMirror I researched this in respect of older victims last year - at least 275 incidents in 3 years allegedly perpetrated by hospital staff wearehourglass.org/new-research-s…

Pondering on the Assisted Dying Bill. If the recent changes are because judges will be overwhelmed with applications, has impact on Safeguarding & Domestic Abuse services been considered for those people that the panel finds are being coerced into applying?

If you're experiencing #domesticabuse, support is available. We're working with pharmacies, banks and selected job centres across the UK to provide #SafeSpaces in their consultation rooms for victims of domestic abuse. Find your nearest space👉🏽 bit.ly/35k6cdB

Gaslighting on a monumental scale. Not to mention the thousands of woman-hours spent writing consultation responses, giving oral evidence, sitting on panels, focus groups... all at each charity's expense, while the Home Office UNDERSPENDS by £22 million.

@ianbirrell @wesstreeting Worth noting that the LeDeR categories do not include domestic abuse. Presumably would fit under avoidable deaths but should be separated

An NHS study deemed 42% of deaths to be “avoidable” for citizens with a learning disability But @wesstreeting wants to drop a pledge to give 75% of people with learning disabilities an annual health check, arguing the NHS is giving in to lobby groups thetimes.com/article/2e84dc…

The Committee also voted against hearing evidence from an elder abuse charity, a domestic abuse charity, and the British Geriatrics Society They have not (yet) u-turned on this

We’re very pleased to introduce the next panellist for our upcoming webinar on the sexual abuse of older people, independent researcher, Amanda Warburton-Wynn (@QueenWormy) Book your ticket for free here: eventbrite.com/e/the-sexual-a…

We need a Commissioner for Older People and Ageing in England to act as an independent champion for older people and ensure that policymaking across government considers the long-term needs of our ageing population. Find out more: ageing-better.org.uk/commissioner-o…

@ShellShell6666 I literally just shared the same appeal before I saw your post. I researched sexual assaults on older people by hospital staff awdaconsultancy.com/researchpapers

Before this gets lost in #IDEVAWG posts on Monday, it's just over 6 years since this lady was murdered IN HOSPITAL and someone has information to help get justice crimestoppers-uk.org/news-campaigns…

I was honoured to be asked to speak at the London Safeguarding Adults Conference today, about systemic invisibility of older victims of domestic abuse - hopefully highlighted that people are always visible to someone #safeg

Most welcome tool and timely for #Safe

I was pleased to be offered the opportunity to share my thoughts and research with @ptsafetylearn Safety is the linchpin of health and social care
