| Annotation | This report presents a summary of the main findings of a consultation with older people who have had contact with and/or received advocacy services. 35 older people were involved in the consultation process, which was undertaken on behalf of the Older People's Advocacy Alliance (OPAAL) UK as part of a project. One of the aims was to contribute to an evidence base for the effectiveness and impact of advocacy which can be reported by stakeholders (policy-makers, commissioners and fund-holders). Specifically, the consultation focused on the experience and impact of advocacy on older people, and interest in seeing advocacy develop. The report considers the processes, outcomes and development of advocacy with older people. (RH). |
