Age UK - Briefing: Domestic Abuse Bill 2019-2021 (HC)

Domestic abuse has no age limit. Age UK is calling on the Government to ensure the voices of older people are heard, their rights are protected, and their needs included in an important new law addressing domestic abuse.

The re-introduced Domestic Abuse Bill is an excellent opportunity to create lasting difference to what is understood as domestic abuse and make it easier for people to recognise or report it, as well as improving the resources available to help victims and survivors.
