“Not Slowing but Knowing” is an Age Friendly Waterford podcast in partnership with Waterford Older People’s Council brought to you in association with Waterford City & County Council and hosted by Tony Kelly.

This eight-part series celebrates the value, participation and wisdom that come with age, exploring what it means to age well in Waterford through the stories, experiences, communities and supports that make growing older something to embrace not fear.

Across the series, we explore the work of the Age Friendly Programme in Waterford, meet inspiring local voices from across the county and have honest conversations about health, creativity, connection, independence and what it really means to age well in Waterford.

“Not Slowing but Knowing” reflects that with age comes deeper understanding, resilience and insight, showing that growing older is defined not by limitation, but by experience, purpose, value and wisdom.

The Age Friendly Waterford Programme is administered by Waterford City & County Council in partnership with Waterford Older People’s Council and the Waterford Age Friendly Alliance. The programme is administered nationally by Age Friendly Ireland, hosted by Meath County Council.

While this podcast focuses on the Age Friendly Programme for Waterford, listeners from across Ireland can use the information shared to connect with supports, services and Age Friendly initiatives in their own county through the national Age Friendly Ireland Programme (www.agefriendlyireland.ie or call 046 90321700) or via their own local authority.Waterford City and County Council 個人的成功 社会科学 自己啓発

    Episode 5: Keeping Older Adults Safe - Understanding Safeguarding
    2026/06/11
    In this episode of Not Slowing but Knowing, we speak with Siobhan Maher, Social Work Team Lead with the HSE about recognising risks, responding to concerns and supporting older adults to live safely and with dignity and why it matters to individuals, families, carers and communities.Safeguarding is about protecting a person's right to live safely, free from abuse, neglect, exploitation and harm. It involves recognising when an older adult may be at risk, understanding how to respond appropriately and ensuring that dignity, choice and independence remain at the centre of any intervention.We discuss the different forms of abuse and neglect, the signs that may indicate an older person is at risk, what to do if you have concerns, and what happens when safeguarding services become involved. We also explore the important role that families, neighbours, healthcare professionals and communities play in helping older adults stay safe and supported.
