Citizen Advocacy with Older People: A Code of Good Practice
Andrew Dunning

'... both timely and comprehensive. It is a must for anyone setting up a citizens advocacy project.'
Professional Social Work

Citizen advocacy, where one person represents the rights and interests of another in a mutually agreed partnership, is an effective means of empowering older people. This code of good practice provides guidance for setting up and managing citizen advocacy projects with older people.

The code describes the main legal, ethical and practical issues of running a project from the inspirational issues of 'getting started' to dealing with the detail of 'getting on' with managing the project and creating and supporting partnerships. Useful sources of additional information, relevant organisations and further reading are also provided.
