The learning resource is aimed at managers and staff working in housing schemes that provide care
and support services for older people.
The aims of this resource are:
- To increase staff awareness of social difference and diversity amongst older residents.
- To illustrate forms of discrimination and inequality experienced by residents on the basis of social
minority identities. - To facilitate critical and practical thinking about the ways in which staff and managers can promote
socially inclusive environments at individual and scheme-based levels
