| Annotation | The current literature on information, advice and advocacy for older people was examined, and provision in the London Borough of Barnet was mapped with help from the older people's forum in the borough. The research on which this report is based is part of the Signpost Project, which was funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), with the aim of establishing the perceived and actual needs and requirements of those who are currently pensioners, and those who will become pensioners in the next 15-20 years. The report looks at how older people find out about what they need to know, the diversity and breadth of information, advice and advocacy available, and whether older people can find it and manage it once found. The authors also report their personal experiences as older people in finding information, advice and advocacy both in the UK and in New Zealand. They suggest individual strategies for older people to find out what they need to know, and list a few examples of good practice. (RH). |
