A Sure Start to Later Life: Ending Inequalities for Older People

This report from the Social Exclusion Unit suggests that the approach of Sure Start in galvanising communities and re-shaping childrens services can work just as well for older people, particularly in tackling those most excluded. The Sure Start to later life approach would used the same methods as the childrens model to improve access, bringing together services around older people.

The report sets out 30 agreed cross-government action points, which will be implemented to ensure that the needs of the most excluded older people are addressed.

Alongside the report we are publishing new research -by the National Centre for Social Research - which sets out current analysis on the extent and characteristics of social exclusion affecting older people in England .
