Glossary of Terms Age Friendly City/County Coordinator: This person leads out the age-friendly city or county programme. He/she is appointed by the Chief Executive of the local authority to set up the programme and liaise with members of the Age Friendly Alliance and the Older People’s Council. The job requires good networking and administrative skills. Over time, it is important that the Age Friendly City /County Coordinator delegates tasks to members of the Age Friendly Alliance and/or the Older People’s Council while holding on to a coordinating and overseeing role. Age Friendly City or County Alliance: The Age Friendly City or County Alliance is the group of senior managers from local government, health, transport and voluntary services, the Gardai, third level institutions and other sectors dealing with older people. Older People’s Council: The Older People’s Council (sometimes called the Older People’s Forum) is a group of older people in the city/county who have volunteered to become part of the Age Friendly City or County programme. Once formed, the Older People’s Council elects an Executive Committee, the Chairperson of which sits on the Age Friendly Alliance. Age Friendly Ireland Regional Consultants: The Age Friendly Ireland Regional Consultants play a supportive and guiding role to the Age Friendly City and County Coordinators. Public Participation Network: The Public Participation Network (PPN) is a grouping of people from various community and voluntary agencies in your county or city. Essentially, it exists to offer the public a means to interface directly with the local authority and fulfils the role previously undertaken by the Community and Voluntary Forum. They offer local groups an opportunity to have input into decision making in their city/county. Groups that join the PPN also have access to networking, training and updates on grant schemes. It is important that the Age Friendly City or County programme has a representative on the Public Participation Network. For instance, this can be a member of the Age Friendly Alliance who also heads up a voluntary organisation working with older people. 196
Glossary of Terms The Chairperson of the Older People’s Council would also ideally be a member of this network. Local Community and Development Committee: The Local Community and Development Committee (LCDC) has both statutory and non-statutory members. Set up in 2014, it has its own budget to allocate to various community and development projects in the county which it does through its Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP). It’s important that the statutory members of the LCDC are very familiar with the Age Friendly programme in your city or county. It would also be advantageous to have a non-statutory member who is a member of the Age Friendly Alliance and/or the Chair of the Older People’s Council on the Committee. The WHO checklist for Age Friendly Cities and Counties: Following consultation with older people in the first 33 Age Friendly cities, the World Health Organisation developed an age-friendly checklist covering eight aspects of urban living where improvements could be made. These themes are outdoor spaces and buildings; transportation; housing; social participation; respect and social inclusion; civic participation and employment; communication and information; and community support and health services. They have since become the foundation stone for further development of the Age Friendly programmes around the world. The Dublin Declaration: The Dublin Declaration is a document which commits local authorities to a five year cycle of continual assessment and improvement to make their communities and cities more age friendly. 197
