Economic abuse can look very different within different contexts, but it can include a range of different behaviours that restrict the way that a person lives their life. This may be by preventing someone from working, restricting their access to money or controlling the use of technology such as phones, technology or medical aids that a person uses to engage in everyday life to communicate or to travel. Economic abuse may also be identified by someone stealing or damaging another person’s property will a wilful intent to disrupt the way they live their life or applying pressure on a person to alter their will in their favour. Or it may be a refusal to contribute to living costs or using a person’s identity to take out credit or loans in their name without their knowledge. It is identified by another person taking control of economic resources that another person needs to engage in their day-to-day life.
