Annotation	This report is concerned with all those in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, many of whom encounter barriers that prevent full participation in employment, learning in and outside the workplace, career development programmes, and training to improve employability. The fundamental objective of "Challenging age" was to consult older people and analyse their views on what has or has not worked for them, so that organisations delivering advice, information, guidance and support can achieve better results. Six Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) Partnerships took part: Derbyshire; Kent and Medway; Lincolnshire and Rutland; North London; Sunderland; and York and North Yorkshire. The report describes the project and how barriers were overcome; and outlines a 10 point action plan and the IAG Partnership Action Plans. (RH).
