About the Book

This study reports on how and why older people became involved in policy and planning initiatives. The involvement of older people in planning and evaluating services is high on the policy agenda for many organisations. Using five different case studies this report maps out the ways in which older people got involved, offering ideas for other organisations and for older people themselves. The report explores the key issues that need to be considered, as well as drawing out good practice from the schemes studied. The schemes include: a group which set up care services for older people; a Citizen's jury which developed policy for older people; a project to meet the diverse needs of older people in one locality; a scheme to provide accessible repair and maintenance services and an initiative to design a house for older people. The report presents a number of indicators for involvement, including the factors, processes and infrastructure that need to be in place, to guide anyone wishing to involve older people in service planning and policy.
