This resource looks at the complex issue of neglect. Neglect is a complex issue - as it involves what isn't done, rather than what is. It's not about a single instance like a forgotten meal, but a pattern of disregard for an older person's needs, including medical and emotional care. This short guide highlights some of the less obvious signs of neglect.
Te Tari Kaumātua | Office for Seniors has also published the resource "Hidden harm" along with videos and other digital resources to raise awareness of elder abuse and neglect. Record #8255
