| Annotation | Senior managers in older people's services are not immune to the stereotypical thinking that reinforces ageism. A survey of senior and middle managers in social services about the use of the term "the elderly" revealed that only a minority thought the term ageist or offensive. There is a need to broaden the equality and diversity debate beyond race, gender and disability to look at issues of age and ageism. (RH). |
