Annotation	In 2013, unionlearn in conjunction with the National Institute of Adult and Continuing Education (NIACE, now the Learning and Work Institute England) developed and piloted a government-funded Mid-life Career Review process. Evaluation and feedback from these pilots in which 15 unions participated found that unions were well-placed to support individuals, because of their unique network of active union learning reps (ULRs). Since the pilot stage, unions have continued to be the largest provider of workplace mid-life career reviews. In late 2016, unionlearn conducted a survey into mid-life development reviews (MLDRs) and older workers to assess how unions were continuing to take forward this important agenda. This report highlights the survey findings. It includes examples of the effective ULR role in engaging employers and staff to meet the needs of mid-life and older workers. (RH)
