Civil and Social Justice Needs in Later Life
This is a report of findings from the Legal Services Research Centre's secondary analysis of its 2004 national periodic survey. It is often assumed that later life is a time when there are fewer needs for legal advice and redress because people have completed certain key life stages. However, there is limited evidence about whether this assumption holds true.

A copy of the report is available to download on the right hand side of this page.

Tackling Age Discrimination beyond the workplace - seminar series
In February 2006, Age Concern England held a series of three seminars to explore how protection against age discrimination might be extended to include a positive duty on public authorities and cover the provision of goods and services. The seminars which were held at the Law Society,  were designed to inform debate about ageism and age discrimination at a key stage in the development of government policy in this field.  A copy of the report of the three seminars is available to download at the top right hand side of this page.
