Tool Description |
This is a summary of report published by University of Derby, Institute of Guidance Studies, 2005.The report argues that current policy relating to older adults is essentially piecemeal and reactive in nature, and sees older adults mainly as passive consumers of state services. The need is for carefully considered policy decisions that are part of an overarching and ‘joined-up’ national strategy aimed at proactively involving many more adults aged 50+ as active contributors to the national economy and to their local communities. High-quality lifelong learning and guidance provision are essential
elements.
