Research

Research is a key facet of the work undertaken by the research and policy team here at Hourglass, and it allows us to illuminate and uncover integral data and factors linked to the abuse of older people and safer ageing.

 

Hourglass’s research component encompasses long form research reports, briefing notes, and key trend and pattern analysis. Hourglass also collaborates with academics, other stakeholder organisations, and independent researchers to broaden the scope and reach of our work. Search our directory for our latest research, statistics, leaflets, practical guidance, briefings and evaluations that share what we've learned from our services and linked to Older People and Safer Ageing.
