About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with an expert about the Certified Specialist Programme in Elder Abuse Policy. Can you tell us a bit about your experience in this field and what drew you to it? GUEST: I've been working as a social worker for over 20 years, focusing on elder care. I was drawn to this area because I noticed a growing need to protect vulnerable older adults from different types of abuse. HOST: That's quite a journey! Now, could you share some current trends in elder abuse policy that our listeners should be aware of? GUEST: Absolutely. There's increasing recognition of financial exploitation as a significant form of elder abuse. Also, many regions are developing or improving multidisciplinary teams to address these issues more effectively. HOST: Financial exploitation sounds scary. What are some common challenges faced when dealing with such cases? GUEST: One major challenge is that financial abuse can be hard to detect. Older adults may not report it due to fear, shame, or cognitive decline. Building trust and using sensitive communication techniques is crucial. HOST: Trust is indeed important. How do you see the future of elder abuse policy, and what changes would you like to see? GUEST: I hope to see more comprehensive legislation, better training for professionals, and increased public awareness. We need to create a society where elders feel safe and supported. HOST: That's a powerful vision. Before we wrap up, why would you recommend this Certified Specialist Programme to our listeners?
