| Annotation | The Dignity and Older Europeans Research Group has produced a series of recommendations on policy. The authors propose that these recommendations should be considered by European legislators, national governments, professional organisations, and all institutions and practitioners who provide services for older citizens. Their policy recommendations are inspired by the data gathered from focus groups, as well as by the theoretical reflections on the concept of "dignity". This article introduces four core policy recommendations. The first concerns the rights of the older person; the second calls for the removal of ageism and ageist practices; the third concerns regulatory frameworks needed in service provision; and the fourth reflects older people's welfare entitlements.
