Money Talks: Economic Abuse

from Mortgage Strategy Podcast Hosted by mortgagestrategy

In this episode Shelley Reid from Royal London discusses the rise of economic and financial abuse, explains the difference between them, and shares real-life examples showing how control over money, property, benefits and mobility can be used to coerce victims. She outlines which groups are at higher risk, the effects on mortgages, protection products and debt, and practical red flags for advisors, friends and family to watch for. The episode closes with clear, compassionate advice on how to respond—listen, believe, signpost support services and ensure staff are trained to identify and help those experiencing economic abuse.
