Predatory Marriages Awareness Session
Wednesday 21 February 2024 10am - 11.30am
Via MS Teams
Financial abuse is an area we are seeing on a regular occurrence within Adult Protection in Angus, but what it? This isn’t a scam caller or email but your new stepfather or mother.
“In March 2016 Joan Blass was almost 92 years old, with severe vascular dementia and terminal cancer. She was unable to make the simplest decision and never knew that she had remarried just five months before her death.
Joan’s daughter Daphne Franks tells the story of a secret marriage, a revoked will, an unmarked grave, grooming, gaslighting, a Private Member’s Bill and a campaign to highlight all the issues. The Franks family hope to fill all the gaps so nothing like this will ever happen to another family in the future – because, as they have learned, it’s currently happening to many of our elderly and vulnerable and their families.”
Daphne’s talk will last around 45 minutes and she is happy to answer any questions that you may have on the subject or signpost onto other services / campaigns to highlight this issue.
