66 Chapter 3 – Effective interventions Case study 16 Dining with a Difference EESCP recently hosted Dining with a Difference, a special dinner event to celebrate and raise awareness of the benefits of employing disabled people. The event provided a leading disability consultancy with the opportunity to take employers through a four course meal, highlighting at each course how disability affects their employees, their customers and clients and the communities in which they do business. Diners were encouraged to share personal experiences and views and consider in practical terms what needs to be done if their companies are to build on their achievements. Anne McGuire, Minister for Disabled People, who attended the event, said Dining with a Difference has enabled employers to take the time out and explore the positive benefits of being a ‘disability confident’ organisation. If employers take on the role of championing disability issues it will go a long way to help address barriers that disabled people face within the labour market. Anne McGuire also spoke about the changing demographics in the region and the convincing case for the business benefits a flexible approach to workforce diversity brings. Comments from guests included: I was genuinely moved and educated. The scale of the needs and indeed the value of economic inclusion of this 'forgotten' section of work-capable society was brought to our attention in a delicate yet forceful way. 3.1 – SO5: To promote active ageing and reduce social exclusion of older people ‘Active ageing’ is a concept championed by the World Health Organisation, as the central theme of a policy framework to promote healthy and active lives. It is defined as ‘the process of optimising opportunities for health participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age.’ This can include participation of older people in social, economic, cultural, spiritual and civic affairs (SO5: 1), as well as the ability to be physically active and to participate in the labour force (SO1: 4 and SO2: 6). While not all older people will experience social exclusion, some of its causes can also be a barrier to active ageing, such as difficulties in accessing services, including transport. i) Housing and health Making the links between housing, health and social care is crucial to ensuring holistic service provision for those older people most vulnerable to social exclusion. Housing specifically designed to meet the needs of older people may enable them to live independently for longer. The Regional Housing Strategy for the East of England: 2005-2010 (EERA, 2005) recommends an increase in the availability of Home Improvement Agency (HIA) services across the region (SO6: 3). HIAs assist vulnerable homeowners or private sector tenants who are older, disabled or on low income to repair, improve, maintain or adapt their homes. By improving people's living conditions their quality of life is enhanced and they are able to remain in their homes in greater comfort and security.
Regional Social Strategy – the strategy to achieve social inclusion throughout the East of England Research has suggested a number of other ways in which housing policy can help to minimise the effects of social exclusion (The Implications of an Ageing Population for the Sustainable Development of the East of England, Population Ageing Associates, 2003): • use of demographic information in the planning of public and private housing and associated infrastructure • as identified in the Sustainable Communities Plan, ensuring an inclusive approach to the planning of growth areas that takes account of the needs of older people as well as other disadvantaged groups in need of affordable housing (SO6: 2) • Lifetime Homes incorporating design principles that enable people to remain in their home following a change in circumstances such as developing a disability • Smart Homes with technological measures to prevent falls and other accidents, assisting older people to stay in their homes as long as they wish. 67
