A Time of Change Webinar: Older people’s policy and rights across the UK – 5 June 2024

Wednesday 5 June 2024, 10:00 –  11:30
Online

In this likely General Election year, this webinar will look at where we are across the 4 UK Nations on some of the big issues impacting older people: social care; the NHS; income and housing security; and the role of Older People’s Commissioners in championing older people’s rights. Informed throughout by a rights perspective, the webinar is being put on by Age UK, Age Northern Ireland, Age Scotland, Age Cymru, Independent Age, Scottish Care and lastly, but definitely not least, the current Older People’s Commissioners in Northern Ireland and Wales who are both due to step down soon and who will reflect on their experiences.
