| Annotation | The Ageing Well programme (July 2010 to March 2012) was designed to provide sector-led support to assist local authorities in England to meet the challenges associated with an ageing population. The programme was delivered by the Local Government Association (LGA; previously Local Government Improvement and Development, and before that the Improvement and Development Agency, IDeA), and was funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). LGA and DWP commissioned Ipsos MORI to carry out an ongoing evaluation of the programme in May 2010. This Research summary outlines the findings of Department for Work and Pensions Research report 807 (90 pp; ISBN 9781908523853). It comments on the tailored support employed to deliver the programme, "which was designed with the needs of individual authorities in mind". Most criticised was the short timeframe, which made it difficult to assess the programme's true impact. Despite this, participating authorities did feel that there would be some lasting legacy, for example, taking issues of ageing more seriously. (RH). |
