Social Care Institute for Excellence: Ageism, Age Discriminatinon and Social Exclusion
26/05/2008
Tool Information
Tool Description
For people who work with older people, this tool asked you to consider issues which are central to understanding the experience of ageing and older age in contemporary society. Ageism, age discrimination and social exclusion diminish the quality of life which older people may enjoy. They also threaten their mental health. In spite of their negative effect on the daily lives of older people, however, ageism and age discrimination are often unrecognised, ignored, or even compounded in health and social care settings. And social exclusion has only recently been officially acknowledged as affecting older people as well as children and families.Tool Characteristics
