- Decision
- Carried
Conference notes with concern that there is no specific law which addresses Elder Abuse and makes it an aggravated offence, as is the case with child abuse.
Conference therefore calls upon the National Executive Council to work with the Trades Union Congress and appropriate organisations, to urge the legal establishments in England and Scotland and HM Government and the Scottish Government to make Elder Abuse an aggravated offence in law with additional penalties.
