Synopsis

Recent policy in Britain has promoted the recognition of diversity of experience in later life.

However, despite this, sexuality in later life is a little understood area and one that health and social care practitioners often overlook in their dealings with older service users. Co-written by a researcher, project worker and older volunteers, this book provides an accessible guide for those practitioners who work with older people, to develop a deeper understanding of issues of discrimination and oppression attached to sexuality in later life and explore the implications for practice.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ann Fannin has been a life-long campaigner for peace, justice and equality and sees the Gay and Grey research project as an extension of her commitment to diversity and egalitarianism. Much of her working life was spent in Social Services with older people. She holds a degree in Peace Studies (Bradford University). Before joining Bournemouth University as a lecturer in 1995, Lee-Ann Fenge worked as a social worker in adult social services in London and Dorset. Her particular interests are in practice with older people and community care, and she has published an number of journal articles in this area. Tina Hicks had a varied career including the armed forces (from which she was discharged for her sexuality) and the National Health Service. She has considerable experience of carrying out health related surveys and writing the associated reports. Nichola Lavin was employed by Help and Care as the facilitator for Gay and Grey for the first 18 months of the project. She found this a challenging, enjoyable and very rewarding role. Prior to this she worked for Connexions, providing advice and guidance to young people across Dorset.
