520 _aThis resource aims to address an information gap by providing guidance for aged care service providers on how to respond to unlawful sexual contact in ways that respect and support victims and their families. It draws on research and stakeholder feedback from #InHerShoes Project, conducted by the OPAL Institute and Older Women’s Network of New South Wales, and the Unlawful Sexual Contact: Compliance, Resourcing and Prevention Workshop, conducted by the OPAL Institute and AAG on 5 November 2019. This resource begins by presenting Sandra’s story (which was shared by her daughter) to show the impact of unlawful sexual contact on victims and their families. Then the resource provides research on victim and perpetrator characteristics; signs of unlawful sexual contact; and strategies for responding to unlawful sexual contact. Finally, the resource provides guidance to encourage reflection on Sandra’s story and how aged care providers could respond better. (From the website). This resource is intended for aged care providers based in Australia. However aged care providers in New Zealand face similar issues (see #6913). For support in New Zealand contact the Elder Abuse Response Service National Helpline: 0800 EA NOT OK / 0800 32 668 65, or other support services listed on the NZFVC website. Record #6947
