Context
Age UK reported that more than 280,000 people aged between 60 and 74 experienced domestic abuse in England and Wales in 2019.
Question
Given the Government advice on lockdown, what specific support is being provided for older people who are victims of domestic abuse?
Answer from Victoria Atkins (Minister for Families, Vulnerability and Safeguarding)
The gov.uk website sets out services available to victims of domestic abuse; helplines may be particularly useful for older people less familiar with online services. £76 million in funding has been announced to support vulnerable people including victims of domestic abuse.
