Pages	pp 8-28
Keywords	Ethnic groups ; Services ; Domiciliary services ; Social Services Departments ; Age Concern.
Annotation	Articles in this issue of Working with Older People describe how some organisations and areas are developing ethnic-sensitive services for older people. The Social Services Inspectorate (SSI) report "Improving older people's services" includes a chapter dealing mostly with services to minority ethnic communities; examples are cited from the report of culturally responsive services. Other articles consider: the role of Age Concern England (ACE) in providing access to advice and information for minority ethnic groups; Navjivan, a service to Asian elders in Leicester; services to black and ethnic elders by Brent Social Services Department (SSD); and three community projects in Manchester: Wai Yin Chinese Women's Society, the Elderly Asian Development Group in Manchester, and the Longsight / Moss Side Community Project. An almost identical series of articles is published in Care Plan, vol 8, no 2, December 2001. (RH).
