| Annotation | Age Concern comments that Opportunity Age is the first ever UK strategy on our ageing society. Its response comments on each section, and particularly recommends that the strategy should: recognise the value and diversity of older people and their contribution; work to remove barriers to older people's participation; foster intergenerational approaches and help combat ageism; identify and tackle inequalities; and recognise older people as part of families, networks and communities and assist them in building social capital. The full version of the response to this Consultation can be obtained from Age Concern's website in the policy papers section under "Information and Policy", or on receipt of an SAE at the address given.
