| Annotation | In 2004, Better Government for Older People (BGOP) reported on a survey of UK local authority strategies for black and minority ethnic (BME) older people. The survey found that only a third of local authorities had approaches underway to to meet BME older citizens' needs and interests; an additional third were considering the first steps and would welcome assistance, whilst the remainder had no plans. This guide is part of BGOP's commitment to developing work in this area, and has been produced with the support and involvement of Help the Aged and the Care Service Improvement Partnership (CSIP). It is adapted from the framework offered by the Audit Commission and BGOP in 'Older people - independence and well-being: the challenge for public services' (2004) for developing comprehensive strategic approaches to all older people. It consists of seven inter-related dimensions: a strategic approach; commitment and leadership; partnership and whole systems working; a picture of the local population of older people; involving older people; communication and information; and evaluation and impact. In common with other BGOP publications, the guide is based on the values of citizenship. (RH). |
