Elder Abuse Awareness

The Team from Age Concern New Zealand

Age Concern New Zealand is running an "Elder Abuse Hits Close to Home" awareness campaign in June. Did you know that more than 75% of alleged abusers are family members? We hear awful stories in the media of older people being abused in care facilities, scammed on the internet or taunted by the general public, but for thousands of older New Zealander's the abuse happens in their own home. Please get in contact with your local Age Concern if you suspect a family member, friend or neighbour is being abused. We can Help. #WEAAD #alwaysrespected

Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.
