Given the Government advice on lockdown, what specific support is being provided for older people who are victims of domestic abuse?
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.
