Laws exist in all 50 states, and at the federal level, aimed to protect older adults from maltreatment at the hands of their families and other caretakers. Many different types of professionals are required by law to make reports of suspected elder abuse to state governmental entities. Additionally, codes of ethics generally expect helping professionals to initiate a response to protect the vulnerable from harm.

The legal requirements for professionals to report elder abuse are often confusing to navigate, especially in relation to other professional and ethical responsibilities. This session will explore the societal response to elder abuse, along with providing professionals a framework to use when concerned for the well-being of an older adult under their professional care.

Following this course, participants will be able to:

Identify four basic ethical principles to guide decision making.
Explain the development in the societal recognition of elder abuse as a social problem.
Apply a framework to guide the process of determining whether they are required to make a report.
Identify the ethical/ moral and legal conundrums faced when making the decision to report elder abuse.
Demonstrate ways to advocate for improved services systems.
