Your action plan should be proportionate to the size and nature of your organisation. SAND will encourage you to think about what you hope to achieve from your planned actions and how you will keep track to find out if your group or organisation really is becoming more inclusive as the year progresses.
- Identify and implement a process to revise policies and procedures to be more inclusive of older and old LGBT+ people

- Invite LGBT+ people in to share their thoughts about your services
- Commission an in-house learning programme from SAND
