This declaration has been produced to help older people understand how key rights apply to them, how they can be accessed more effectively, and how they relate to current equality and human rights laws. The declaration is specifically drafted in the first person so that people can immediately relate it to themselves and contains speech bubbles with the thoughts of real older people living in Wales. The rights are: the right to be oneself; the right to be valued; the right to make decisions and exercise free will; the right to decide where to live, how to live and with whom to live; the right to work, develop, participate and contribute; and the right to safety, security and justice.
