N2  - The purpose of this report is to provide insight into elder abuse in Aotearoa New Zealand, in particular the current state of the Ministry of Social Development’s (MSD’s) Elder Abuse
Response Services (EARS).

Earlier this year, the Family Violence Team (the Team) visited 15 EARS providers across Aotearoa. The aim of this engagement was to gain an understanding from providers about what is affecting elder abuse in their communities, the strengths and weaknesses of EARS, and potential opportunities to improve future services.

This report focuses on the current state of elder abuse and EARS, with a future state report to follow, identifying next steps in strengthening services. This report provides a blended
analysis of the themes from the Team's discussions with providers alongside literature on older people and elder mistreatment, neglect and abuse. (From the report). Record #6540
