Elder Abuse and Neglect

This service is provided by Age Concern Canterbury.

Our Elder Abuse Response Service (EARS) is a free and confidential service employing professional staff to work with older people and their carers, providing support and advocacy so that older people can be happy, healthy, and safe.  

We also provide professional development sessions for those working with older people and awareness talks to interested people.
