Services providing information, advice and advocacy are crucially important in promoting older people's independence. The current context of government initiatives such as Link Age and the growing grassroots advocacy movement of older people make this report both timely and significant. The report looks at information, advice, and advocacy and the ways in which they may overlap in practice, as well as the differences between them. It explores definitions, core principles, forms, roles and relationships. Information, advice and advocacy are also discussed in terms of skills, services and processes of empowerment. The report focuses on five key themes - accessibility, independence, involvement, strategy and standards. It highlights good practice, and critically examines different ways of thinking about the development of information, advice and advocacy for older people. The report concludes with suggestions for further work in research, policy and practice. Published at a time of new Government initiatives relating to information, advice, advocacy and older people, this book will be of particular interest to researchers, policy makers, commissioners, and providers of services in all sectors and older people's groups.

In addition to the scrutiny of Bills and policy documents the Committee also examines other areas where there are concerns about human rights. In this report it looks at how the principles of human rights can be applied to older people in hospitals and care homes to ensure they are treated with greater dignity and respect. It looks first at the current position before covering: the leadership of the Department of Health; the implementation of the Human Rights Act by service providers; health and social care inspectorates and NICE; the role of staff in protecting human rights; and empowering older people. It finds that, although there are examples of excellent care, there are concerns about poor treatment, neglect, abuse, discrimination and ill-considered discharge. There is a significant difference between the "duty to provide" under care standards legislation and the "right to receive" under human rights legislation and the culture needs to change. The Committee recommends legislation and a role for the Commission for Equality and Human Rights. It also recommends measures to strengthen human rights obligations and duties, including better guidance and standards, and bringing private and voluntary care homes into the scope of the Human Rights Act.

Social Work with Older People provides an authoritative and practical guide to working with older people in a range of settings. It addresses the complexities of individual work with older people, as well as work with families, groups and the wider community, and is not afraid to tackle the challenges as well as opportunities of practice in this area. The book begins by explaining the demographic changes that have led to a ‘greying’ of the general population. It goes on to discuss the diversity in experiences of ageing across society, and the range of issues which confront older people and those who wish to work proactively with them. Clear attention is paid to the processes of assessment, care planning and review, with readers encouraged to reflect on developing good practice through case studies and exercises. Although it has a strong practical emphasis, the book also stresses the value of theoretical perspectives, with insights from fields such as sociology and psychology woven throughout the book. Clear links are also made to policy guidelines and organizational standards, without losing sight of the deeper, often more complex, issues that arise when working with older people. Social Work with Older People will be essential reading for social work students and practitioners, but also for others who are interested in the development of practice with older people as citizens and service users.
