Building bridges across the generations: Embedding intergenerational work wit...Alison Clyde
This session summaries the effects of loneliness and isolation and will demonstrate the positive impacts that intergenerational practice has for older and younger people. The presenters will outline how Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and partners have driven forward a social movement that is combatting loneliness and isolation across our communities. In particular, the session will identify how key intergenerational initiatives and a multi-agency intergenerational strategy have made a significant difference to the lives of everyone involved. These initiatives are low cost/no cost.
Kate Faulkes of Barnsley Council explains the radical change in governance and culture that the Council began and its impact on community well being and development.
Join Matthew Linning for a facilitated discussion on the future challenges, opportunities and priorities for intergenerational volunteering. Drawing upon the findings of his recently published report ‘The contribution of volunteering to Scotland's health and wellbeing’ this workshop will discuss the impact of demographic change, volunteering trends and health and wellbeing benefits by age group to understand the likely impacts on intergenerational volunteering.

Ageism effects all of us – whether we are young, old, or somewhere in between. Ageism is a broad issue throughout the UK that exists in many different areas in society. In this webinar we will discuss this issue and the different areas of ageism that exist within our society including:
Language – Tackling everyday ageist language used to talk about older and younger people.
Cities – Making our cities more accessible and age-friendly.
Services – Promote independence by making financial and technology services easier, safer and fairer to use.
Places for intergenerational encounters and connectionsAlison Clyde
We will look at what makes for good intergenerational spaces and places. We shall briefly explore some inspiring examples from our recent study trip to the Netherlands and Denmark in February 2020 and also how places and projects are developing in Dumfries & Galloway that are all about intergenerational connections. We will also share how we developed a brief for architects that involved community members of all ages as active partners in designing new spaces and in the repurposing of old ones.
This session looks at developing an understanding of the shared needs between generations, the types of spaces required to support intergenerational usage and the experiences these spaces would provide.
On the 24th November 2015, we held our first annual conference on 'The Future of Ageing'.
During this full day conference we painted a picture of the future of ageing and explored the challenges and opportunities ahead. Through our unique lifecourse focus we explored the potential impact of ageing not just on today’s older population, but also on tomorrows.
We heard presentations from:
- Steven Baxter (Partner, Hymans Robertson);
- Lord Filkin (Chair of the Centre for Ageing Better and Chair of the House of Lords Committee on Public Service and Demographic Change);
- Lord Willetts (Executive Chair at Resolution Foundation, and former Minister of State [Department for Business, Innovation and Skills]);
- Paul Johnson (Director, Institute for Fiscal Studies);
- Baroness Altmann (Minister for Pensions);
- Professor Jane Elliott (Chief Executive, Economic and Social Research Council);
- Professor Sir Mark Walport (Government Chief Scientific Adviser [GCSA] and Head of the Government Office for Science);
- Jim Boyd (Director of Corporate Affairs, Partnership);
- Elaine Draper (Director, Accessibility & Inclusion, Barclays);
- Mario Ambrosi (Head of Communications and Public Affairs, Anchor);
- Baroness Kay Andrews (Member of the House of Lords Built Environment Committee, Former Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Communities and Local Government) 2006-2009);
- Professor Ian Philp (Deputy Medical Director for Older People’s Care, Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust).
The conference was chaired by Baroness Sally Greengross (Chief Executive, ILC-UK) and Lawrence Churchill (Trustee, ILC-UK).
This webinar looked at how imagery shapes and reinforces negative attitudes to ageing, and explored current efforts to depict older age in a more positive and realistic light.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?

Working together to improve community engagement in care homes - Joint HSC and MHL event 20.05.15
1. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
Working Together to Improve Community
Engagement in Care Homes
2. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
Aims
To share our collective learning/ expertise about best
practice in community engagement
To develop new ideas of how we might improve the
lives of older people through community engagement
To reflect together on how we might take this agenda
forward, individually and collectively, for the benefit of
older people in care homes
3. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
Community Engagement in care homes
is…
… Anything that connects care
homes with local people,
groups, businesses, clubs or
any other neighbourhood
asset.
4. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
What do we think about care homes?
•Scandals?
•Poor quality?
•Money-grabbing?
•Undesirable?
•Less relevant?
•In decline?
5. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
Older people in care homes
• 426,000 older people (residential and nursing)
• Average age 85 years
• 70% dementia or severe memory problems
• 40% depression
• 75% classified “severely disabled”
• Massive increase in dependency levels
• Generally unable to remain in the community
6. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
Funding
Per week:
• local authority average funding for residential care (older
people) = approximately £500 (or £2.97 per hour)
•Hospital bed = £2,000 (approx)
•Children’s home (LA care home) = £2,800 (approx)
•Saving the NHS £billions
7. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
Workforce
• ½ million employed in care
homes
• Care-assistants £6.70 per
hour
• Lack of funding for training
• Paid less than those looking
after our rubbish
• 66% NVQ2
• 39% feel unappreciated by
public (Skills for Care)
8. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
Unsupported, isolated, mistrusted
•Constant regulatory and policy
changes (local and national)
•“Feeding the system rather than
feeding residents!”
•High levels of personal stress –
fear-based culture
•Massive under-investment
9. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
Despite this…
•There is considerable evidence of great
practice everywhere
•Care homes can be a very positive
option for older people
•There is some great examples of
community engagement.. Over to Grace!
10. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
Care homes in the heart of the
community
• Care homes have historically
been ‘islands of the old’ –
isolated from their local
communities
• However there is some great
practice
• Requires support to prepare the
community and support to
prepare the care home
11. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
What works well in community
engagement?
• What are you working on now?
• What works well and what are the challenges?
• Mapping our good work:
12. Promoting Quality of Life in Care Homes
What could community engagement in
care homes look like at its best?
Imagine today is 20th
May 2018 and
community engagement in care homes is
alive and well!
• What does it look and feel like?
• What would have changed?
13.
14. Three fold strategy:
Create and build a social movement of people and organisations
willing to take an active interest in the well being of care homes
and the people who live in them
Build an active community of FaNs across Essex sharing and
celebrating ideas, experiences, pleasures and achievements.
Make it as easy as possible for Care Homes to take advantage of
resources as they become available

Editor's Notes
426,000 older and disabled people in residential care (including nursing), approximately 405,000 of whom are aged 65+. Age UK estimate from most recent Laing and Buisson survey of the sector (looking at 2013/14).
0.9% for ages 65-74, 4.3% for 75-84 year olds and 20.7% if 85 and over. Women residents tend to be older, at an average age of 85.6 years, compared to 83.2 for men (Office o).
The resident care home population is ageing: in 2011, people aged 85 and over represented
59.2% of the older care home population compared to 56.5% in 2001. (ONS 2014 http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/dcp171776_373040.pdf)
Two thirds of older people living in care homes experience some level of cognitive impairment and 75% of them are classified as being severely disabled.
Alzheimer’s Society estimate that 70% of care home residents have a dementia or severe memory problems. http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=535&pageNumber=2
It is also estimated that up to 40% of residents experience depression.
Depression is estimated to affect up to 40% of older people who live in care homes and it often goes unrecognised (Audit Commission 2000. Audit Commission (2000) Forget Me Not: Mental Health Services for Older People. Audit Commission, London.
75% classified as being severely disabled (OFT 2005)

Netten et al (2001) found that two thirds of homes in their survey had staff with NVQs or BTEC awards, with many other members of staff working towards such qualifications. Another survey by the CPA (2001) of 1200 independent sector and local authority homes found that at least 20% of all care assistants had some form of additional training qualification (TAKEN FROM DUDMAN –MHL Lit Review)
Skills for Care survey reveals happy but unappreciated social care workforceby Shirley Ayres - May 25, 2008
The first ever survey of more than 750,000 care workers across England found that whlst 90% of staff are happy in their work less than half believe their work is appreciated by the general public.
The survey of 500 care workers carried out by Skills for Care found only 39% felt their work was appreciated and many felt that there was little understanding of the value of their hard work.
