Action on Elder Abuse Scotland: 30 second survey for older people

Why are we carrying out this survey?

Action on Elder Abuse (AEA) Scotland would like to find out about older people's awareness of the support available for those affected by harm or abuse. This will help us find out if more needs to be done to help those who find themselves in a harmful situation.

We'd like to hear from as many older people as possible, even if you haven't experienced harm or abuse. This will help us understand older people's awareness of the support available. We'd also be interested to hear from those who know what support is available, but didn't report what happened to them.

We hope this survey will take less than a minute to complete, and your responses will remain completely confidential.

Thank you for completing this survey.

The survey should be completed by Friday 20th October.
