| Annotation | "Shared expectations, shared commitment" is an action-oriented and older people-led study which took place from 2003 to 2005. The aim has been to to support Chinese older people to develop a collective voice, to influence policy and practice and to reflect on their experiences. Three local working groups in South Yorkshire, Manchester and London adopted a different strategy to influence an area of services, and are reported in the appendices. This report gives an account of the processes and outcomes of the study: the characteristics and key messages of the Joint Statement that was adopted; and participants' experiences, aspirations, gains and losses resulting from the different forms of involvement adopted by their groups. The concluding chapter identifies the lessons learnt, evaluates the effectiveness of the study, and offers recommendations for improving the lives of Chinese older people. The appendix, "Shared expectations, shared commitment", is the text of the Joint Statement, and reflects the expectations of the study's 207 Chinese participants. (RH). |
