Financial Abuse

Financial abuse is “the unauthorised and improper use of funds, property or any resources belonging to another individual".

The impact of financial abuse should not be underestimated and can be every bit as significant as other types of abuse.   Even small losses have the potential for significant impact when considered in context with a person’s overall wealth or income, and whether or not they have access to the right support.  The negative impact of financial abuse, regardless of the source, can leave a person unsettled and without the confidence to live independently.  We never condone this type of behaviour and will actively guard our clients from it.
