At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
This event is observed globally on June 15 every year.
This day is observed by those who work with the elderly and elder justice. However, everyone should observe this day as older adults should be looked after and cared for.
This day was launched on June 15, 2006,to raise public awareness of elder abuse.
This day was started by the World Health Organization and the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse.
Elder exploitation can be anything from scams to exploit the elderly person financially to not providing them with necessary medication and nutritious food. Lack of safety and personal hygiene also constitutes elder mistreatment. Here's a brief history of how this crucial day came to be observed.
The best tradition to observe this day would be to read up on the various issues that affect the elderly. You can do this on the National Center on Law & Elder Rights, Ageless Alliance, and other websites.
You can mark this day by talking about the abuse of older persons around you. Therefore, knowing the warning signs of abuse is key to preventing elder mistreatment.
You can also make a donation to organizations that work for elder justice and elder human rights.
To awaken public consciousness about these social issues that affect millions of older people across the globe.
