We are listening
The #ReadytoListen project was launched in 2021 to help prevent sexual assault in residential aged care. Every World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, Celebrate Ageing Ltd renews the calls for service providers and community leaders to share their commitment to being #ReadyToListen when older people disclose sexual assault.
- Service providers are invited to complete the online learning module (click link here) and share a selfie displaying the message that they are #ReadyToListen - click template here and see examples below
- Community leaders are invited to share the #ReadyToListen message with their local community. Download the information pack by clicking the link here
