Primary-source safeguarding audit, 10 October 2026
Evidence boundary: Local 2023–2024 annual report, not an EARS-only evaluation or national prevalence study. Sixteen physical spreads contain 32 printed pages, including scanned financial material. Referrals, enquiries and programme counts are provider-reported, may overlap and do not demonstrate unique users or causal outcomes. The qualified financial audit excludes entity information and service-performance reporting. A 25 August 2023 compilation date conflicts with the stated 2024 period; exact release day is unverified. Historical personnel, staffing, funding, secondary research and programme descriptions are not verified current services. Original and publisher-hosted PDFs are byte-identical.
Short Answer
Full local annual report and financial performance report for 2023–2024, with elder-abuse prevention outputs and explicit audit/date limitations.
Why it matters
Use the report to understand the mix of historical Wairarapa safeguarding, visiting and social-connection activity, and to identify questions for provider/funder discussions. Compare programme outputs only with consistent definitions and periods, check current service availability separately, and preserve the financial-audit scope and qualification.
Key Points
- •The cover identifies Annual Report 2023–2024, and the performance report concerns the year ended 30 June 2024. The original has 16 physical booklet spreads containing 32 numbered printed pages in imposed, non-sequential reading order.
- •The elder-abuse section reports 38 referrals for suspected abuse, neglect or people in distress, plus 162 additional enquiries often involving follow-up. These are provider-reported activity counts, not 38 confirmed abuse cases or a unique-person total (printed p.6 / physical p.6, left).
- •Reported elder-abuse prevention activity includes 11 education sessions with 260 participants and 43 public-awareness sessions; the report does not establish a causal reduction in abuse (printed p.6 / physical p.6, left).
- •Visiting activity is reported as 51 clients, 34 visitors and 19 public-awareness/education sessions. These historical service counts are separate from the report’s differently dated secondary loneliness research (printed p.8 / physical p.8, left).
- •Buddy Up! reports 17 groups and 243 clients; health promotion reports 99 exercise/falls-prevention/line-dance classes and 46 coffee mornings. Counts across programmes must not be summed as unique older people (printed pp.7, 9 / physical pp.7, 9, right).
- •The treasurer describes a LifeCurve contract with Health NZ enabling four additional part-time staff and identifies Health NZ/MSD funding in that period. This does not establish current staffing or contracts (printed p.12 / physical p.12, left).
Full Summary & Notes
Age Concern Wairarapa’s full 2023–2024 annual report covers elder-abuse prevention, visiting, health promotion, Buddy Up!, governance and a performance report for the year ended 30 June 2024. Its 16 physical PDF pages are imposed booklet spreads containing 32 numbered printed pages, rather than 31 ordinary PDF pages. The elder-abuse section reports 38 referrals for suspected abuse, neglect or people in distress and 162 additional enquiries, alongside education and awareness activity. These are local provider outputs, not confirmed abuse cases, unique users or prevalence. The financial audit is qualified and explicitly excludes entity information and the service-performance statement from its engagement. The original also contains inconsistent compilation dating. This historical report cannot establish current staffing, programme availability or intervention effectiveness.
