Soha is committed to raising awareness of this difficult subject and preventing abuse where possible.

All Soha Housing staff members who have regular contact with vulnerable individuals will be trained in and have access to policies and procedures relating to detection and prevention of abuse. Scheme Managers deliver training in association with Action for Elder Abuse.

Abuse can be in many forms such as physical, psychological, financial or neglect. If you have any concerns about abuse you may be experiencing or have witnessed abuse of an older person, please contact Caroline Major at Soha on 01235 515900.
