Senior
VIP Resource Book
Many
older people live in fear of crime and some fall prey to people
who exploit or abuse them. Many suffer abuse and neglect at
the hands of carers and some become more at risk of accident
and injury as they grow older. We have developed this programme
to use with older people in the belief that it will improve
their health, safety and peace of mind while providing fun
and entertainment at the same time.
Aims
of the Senior V.I.P. Programme
- To reduce
fear of crime and raise awareness of the reality of crime.
- To raise
awareness about personal safety and health in its broadest
sense and explore ways of feeling and becoming safer.
- To prevent
abuse and encourage anyone being abused, or at risk of
abuse, to get appropriate help.
- To explore
risky situations people might find themselves in, and
to help them find strategies to deal with them.
- To provide
an opportunity for discussions about important issues.
- To provide
appropriate information in a fun setting.
- To encourage
participants to learn through fun and activity.
This resource book consists of 8 hour-long sessions using
songs, games, activities, quizzes and safety worksheets to
provide information and encourage discussion in a way that
is memorable and such good fun that people clamour to receive
the programme.
