New paper: National analysis of domestic abuse against older adults, based on sample of almost 14,000 people aged 60-74. We look at similarities and differences compared with younger adults and find for the most part DA is the same regardless of age - https://t.co/alSKKX2JXh

💜Our teams health | Iechyd ein tîm *Cyfieithiad Cymraeg isod*

☀️ We prioritise our team's health and always look for ways to support them. Today, we joined our colleagues at Aberystwyth University for the Staff Health and Wellbeing Day. We learnt more about mindfulness, stress management and resilience. We even had some time to play and eat cake.

🎲 Rydym yn blaenoriaethu iechyd ein tîm ac rydym bob amser yn chwilio am ffyrdd i'w cefnogi. Heddiw, fe wnaethom ymuno â'n cydweithwyr ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth ar gyfer Diwrnod Iechyd a Lles y Staff. Fe wnaethom ddysgu mwy am ymwybyddiaeth ofalgar, rheoli straen a gwytnwch. Cawsom hyd yn oed ychydig o amser i chwarae a bwyta cacen.

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

🧵For too long child victims of abuse have been treated as an afterthought and left to grapple with what has happened to them alone. This must change.

My new report sets out how we can right this wrong and enable children to thrive. Here’s what government must do👇 1/3

Research shows that more than 9 in 10 people survive bowel cancer when it’s diagnosed at the earliest stage.

This is why this #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth, @bowelcanceruk are asking everyone to share the symptoms of the disease.

[Ageing Better @Ageing_Better]

#GlobalIntergenerationalWeek is a good time to remember that ageism harms us all – and we can change this together.

We all face assumptions because of our age. We know these assumptions have an especially damaging impact on those of us who are older now, but they also negatively affect the way we think about ageing as we grow up from as early as three years old. Ageism is a prejudice against our future selves at any age, and we all have a role to play in challenging it.

Talking about ageism is a vital first step. Get involved this week and have a conversation with someone of a different age about ageism, because when more of us are aware of it, the less people will experience being treated negatively because of their age - both now and in the future.

Listen to this brilliant speech from @BenObeseJecty setting out the case on why we need a parallel interpersonal violence strategy for men/boys. And recognition in their own right! We need @jessphillips @AlexDaviesJones to act in the next months and are confident they will.

[Suzy Lamplugh Trust @live_life_safe]

Our #NSAW2019 research found that almost all victims of stalking experience symptoms consistent with PTSD.

For #NSAW2025, we are calling on NHS Integrated Care Boards to commission specialist training and guidance on identifying and responding to stalking victims 🤝

This National Stalking Awareness Week, let’s celebrate the vital work of Stalking Advocates and other victim services.

Mae stelcian yn gamdriniaeth ac mae’n anghyfreithlon. Ond yn rhy aml, mae'n anweledig. Yn ystod yr #WythnosYmwybyddiaethStelcian hon, gadewch i ni siarad am y pethau sy’n rhwystro pobl hŷn rhag adnabod stelcian.
