| Annotation | The opportunities for older people to have a say and influence their environment, the services that affect them, and the society they live in are reviewed. This paper draws on published research and work in progress to examine the limitations of "top-down" initiatives to involve older people. It reviews issues in which older people are becoming involved and their methods of involvement. It asks which older people are missing out, and considers how opportunities to have a say ought to be developed. This is one of three reports commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) to inform its Older People's Steering Group in shaping an agenda for development work. Taken as a whole, the series examines opportunities for older people to have a say, and to suggest ways of taking forward the participatory aims of the Better Government for Older People Programme (BGOP).
