## Resource

People with disabilities are being financially exploited — from tiny thefts to nearly half a million euro — with advocates warning that current systems fail to protect them. At an Oireachtas meeting, Sage Advocacy’s Bibiana Savin called for a dedicated safeguarding body to oversee financial services, highlighting that abuse often comes from trusted individuals and that over 1,400 cases were reported last year. While some banks are training staff and offering support, the real need is for accessible, non-digital financial tools that let people with disabilities manage their money independently — without being controlled, excluded, or left behind.
