Description

Join Hourglass to explore how technology is used to exploit older people and learn how to identify, prevent, and stop digital abuse.

As our world becomes increasingly digital, the methods used to harm and exploit older people are evolving. Join Hourglass, the UK’s only charity dedicated to ending the abuse of older people, for an essential webinar exploring the intersection of technology and elder abuse.

This session will move beyond traditional definitions of "cybercrime" to examine how technology is used as a tool for coercive control, financial exploitation, and harassment within domestic and care settings. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how to recognize the signs of digital harm and how to support older victims in a rapidly changing technological landscape.
