Evidence gathering

Call for evidence analysis

In summer 2021, we ran an open call for evidence, which received 21 responses. We published a document providing an analysis of responses, excluding two responses that were submitted without permission to publish or analyse.

Practitioner survey summary

During the summer of 2021, we launched an anonymous survey aimed at practitioners who work with older people. We have published a document that draws together the key themes from the survey and illustrates them with quotes taken from the practitioners’ responses.
