Question
How is the Cabinet Minister working with Age Cymru and the Older People's Commissioner to raise awareness of scams affecting older people?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality (Sioned Williams)
I am working with the Older People’s Commissioner, to raise awareness of scams affecting older people via delivery of the National Plan to Prevent Abuse of Older People. In addition, by funding Age Cymru to host three national older people’s organisations, Welsh Government is able to disseminate information via campaigns, trusted advice networks and community engagement, helping older people recognise risks, stay safe online and access support when needed.
