| Annotation | The role of advocates is poorly understood, but they do prevent many older people dropping off the social care radar. This article features the mapping exercise undertaken for the Older People's Advocacy Alliance UK (OPAAL UK). The report ("Mapping older people's advocacy in the English regions", by Gary Kitchen; OPAAL, July 2006) found that advocacy services for older people were patchy in England. Of 136 age-specific projects, Age Concern ran 57, with London being the best resourced area. The article and report describe the valuable work carried by advocates for older people, some of whom work with people with dementia. (KJ/RH). |
