| Annotation | In the next 30 years, the proportion of the population in retirement is likely to rise significantly. Excessive risk aversion can harm older people's well-being, but the rise of a culture of blame in society has heightened the need for practitioners to protect their own interests. The evidence review that is summarised considers how to improve decisions made by and for older people about their care and support. It investigates how formal, semi-formal and informal relationships can work together to best effect, and the relationship between risk, trust and good decision-making. The review included material that might usually be excluded from systematic reviews, including anecdotal evidence from practitioners and non-academic literature. The main report (same title) is available as a free download on the JRF website (www.jrf.org.uk). (RH). |
