Regional strategies and demographic ageing

Regional organisations are increasingly important in the governance of England.

Regional Assemblies‚ Regional Development Agencies‚ Government Offices and a range of other stakeholders and partners are collectively responsible for the development‚ co-ordination and delivery of regional strategies which impact on people in every part of their lives–from their employment to their housing and travel to the way they spend their leisure time.

The Age Proofing Toolkit provides a comprehensive briefing and linked series of prompt
questions to focus on the key issues presented by demographic ageing in the context of
regional policy.

It is intended to ensure that in the preparation of regional strategies and action
plans regional organisations can fully consider the issues of an ageing population and ‘ageproof’ documents.
