Older people do not require social work support simply because of their age. They are not an homogenous group with a single set of needs. This study has highlighted the potential limitations of categorising older people as a separate service user group, as if different from other adults. Many people come to social workers’ attention for the first time following the onset of illness or frailty in old age. Others may have experienced difficulties during adult life which are exacerbated, or combine with adverse circumstances, as they grow older. As part of the 21st Century Social Work Review, the Scottish Executive asked the Social Work Research Centre at the University of Stirling to review the evidence base for effective social work with older people. This short piece of work (conducted during July and August 2005) involved a review of various key texts and recent research.
