How to spot the signs of domestic and elder abuse this Christmas
Manx Newscast
Saturday, 20 December 2025 - 11 minutes
We're being urged to stay alert to signs of domestic abuse and elder abuse during the festive season.
The Department of Home Affairs and Victim Support Isle of Man say friends, family and communities can play a crucial role in reducing isolation and supporting vulnerable individuals over the Christmas period.

In this edition of the Manx Radio Newscast, Lorna Trevethan, CEO of Victim Support, explains what to look out for.
