Action on Elder Abuse (AEA) works to protect, and prevent the abuse of, vulnerable older adults. They were the first charity to address these problems and are the only charity in the UK and in Ireland working exclusively on the issue today.

AEA operates at a number of differing levels:

• They provide advice and guidance to older people and others through our helplines.
• They provide training to care staff and others - either as standard packages or specially designed programmes.
• They speak at conferences and events to raise general awareness and stimulate debate.
• They interact with, challenge and support regulators, care providers and Government.
• They undertake special projects.

The Elder Abuse Response telephone helpline provides information and emotional support for anyone who is concerned about an older person being abused and is totally confidential.
