Aims and Objectives
Financial abuse has been found to be the second most common form of reported abuse after physical abuse. Learning disabled people are also more likely to experience 'mate crime', where they are 'supported' for the purpose of being exploited or abused, often for the financial benefit of the perpetrators. Perpetrators can include family members and paid carers.
