Older People's Partnership Board
Knowsley's Older People's Partnership Board
exists to ensure that there is a co-ordinated multi-sector approach
from all stakeholders in the Knowsley Strategic Partnership to
enable people aged 50 plus to live active, satisfying and
independent lives whilst ensuring that the needs of the most
vulnerable people in Knowsley are met.
The Older People's Partnership Board is made up of
representatives from Knowsley Council, NHS Knowsley, Knowsley Older
People's Voice and other local groups.
The aim of the partnership board is to ensure that older people
in the borough are regularly consulted and have the lead in
developing services across Knowsley.
It is vital that older people are not labelled as one
single-issue group. The age range alone is very significant even
before we consider differences arising from gender, race, ethnic
origin, disability, actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender
identity, marital status, nationality, religious belief or any
other characteristic which may impact upon a person’s opportunities
in life.
Knowsley Older People's Partnership Board is fully committed to
recognising and celebrating that diversity, and treating everyone
with dignity and respect. The Partnership's ‘A Positive Age’
strategy is accessible, relevant and meaningful to all older
people in Knowsley, to deliver what matters to older people and to
reflect all of their issues and aspirations, tackling any barriers
resulting from difference. The Partnership works
particularly hard to include those people who are disadvantaged
because of their difference.
'A Positive Age' identifies key priorities that have been
recognised by older people in Knowsley.

eight key priorities in more detail.
