Have Your Say: Help Shape a New Domestic Abuse Support Campaign for Older People

Essex County Council is developing a new campaign to support victims of domestic abuse aged 70 and over — and they’d like your feedback.

The campaign will:

  • Equip professionals and caregivers with the tools to recognise the signs of abuse and access resources from SETDAB.

  • Raise awareness of domestic abuse in older people and encourage them, their families and friends to seek support from COMPASS.

Two campaign design options have been developed, and your input will help ensure the final creative reflects the campaign’s aims.

Your feedback will directly influence how this vital message is shared across Essex.
