Senior VIP
The issues of elder abuse and safety for elderly people have become ever more prevalent over the past few years. We believe that prevention is key and have developed a number of fully evaluated resources that anyone who works with elderly people can use.
Raising awareness, providing information, and most importantly, fun are the key aims of the Senior VIP programme. In this site, we will introduce you to the resources and provide information on how to use them.
If you would like to buy any of the resources featured, please visit our shop.
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.
Games
We have developed a number of games designed to be interactive, fun and informative ways to deliver personal safety and abuse prevention messages to elderly people.
All games are beautifully illustrated and come with large game boards and easy to use pieces. Lengthy and useful user manuals, packed with ideas and tips to make the most of the games are also included.
Available games are:
- Bobby Blue
- Betty Broon
- The 2 in 1 Game
- The safe House Game
