Abuse, Neglect and
loss of dignity On 27 March the Department of Health in England, in conjunction with Comic Relief, announced a new research study into elder abuse prevalence within institutions. A Press Launch on the day was addressed by Kevin Cahill, Chief Executive of Comic Relief, Ivan Lewis the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, and Gary FitzGerald, Chief Executive of AEA. Although AEA have some reservations
about the content of the research proposals it is supporting the
initiative, having previously brought our views to the attention of the DH
(prior to the call for expressions of interest which was required by
Monday 23 June 2008). Successful applicants will be asked to download application forms and
submit a full proposal and the deadline for receipt of full applications
will be 5.00pm
