| Annotation | Services providing information, advice and advocacy are crucially important for promoting the independence, involvement and interests of older people. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) commissioned this short report, in order to shape the thinking of its Older People's Programme, and to suggest areas for further research and development on our understanding of information, advice and advocacy. The focus is on five key themes that have emerged strongly within the literature and fieldwork: accessibility, independence, involvement, strategy, and standards. The report critically examines different ways of thinking about the development of information, advice and advocacy for older people, and examples of good practice are highlighted throughout. (RH). |
