Offers practical guidance on how organisations can work to eradicate age discrimination and make change happen at a local level. It concludes that older people have a central role to play in identifying age discrimination. The guide draws on the experiences of health and social care staff, older people, policy-makers and local campaigners to offer clear guidance on: how to gather and assess evidence of age discrimination; who to involve in the process; what kinds of evidence to look for; and where to look.
