| Annotation | This guide gives examples from Beacon authorities and others of current best practice in providing services for older people. It has been compiled in partnership with the I&DeA by the Beacon authorities for the Services for Older People theme (2004-05). They are: Cotswold District Council; Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service; Nottinghamshire County Council; Shropshire County Council; and Stroud District Council. It outlines the major demographic and social trends and policy considerations that underpin the work of local authorities in this area. It discusses and presents examples of different initiatives under four themes: planning together for an ageing society; improving multi-agency working for older people; engaging with and involving older people; and harnessing the energy, skills and enthusiasm of older people. Key factors for success that run throughout each theme are the active involvement of older people and the willingness of authorities and agencies to adopt innovative approaches to the provision of services.
