Financial Abuse Training - Protecting Adults at Risk - Overview

Tens of thousands of people each year fall victim to financial abuse. This can take a variety of different forms within relationships, whether by partners, family members or carers or others, and may manifest itself as financial control, dependency or exploitation.
