Advice for professionals
Further your learning
The Centre for Age, Gender and Social Justice has developed free training and guidance for practitioners who work with older people experiencing domestic abuse or care-giver stress. Our training and guidance are informed by research conducted at the Centre, including the first longitudinal study to draw directly on older peoples lived experiences of help-seeking. Free online training courses at the Centre come in bite-sized formats and are easily accessible to a wide range of practitioners.
