Older People’s Champions can help to ensure that whatever the issue, the needs, wishes and preferences of older people are fully taken into account in the planning and implementation of policy and services.
An Older People’s Champion is someone who argues, supports and defends the concerns, issues and needs of older people in the local authority area. The Champion is also a strategic leader leading for older people across their local authority, raising and promoting older people’s issues.
The Older People’s Champions Network has been established and the agendas, papers and other relevant documents from those meetings will be stored here for your information.
