Other Considerations for the Alliance<br />

The terms of reference of the Alliance will be tailored to the individual needs and environment<br />

within each local authority, and can change to respond to new developments. Given the Local<br />

government reform currently underway, the Chairs of the current set of <strong>Age</strong> <strong>Friendly</strong> Alliances<br />

have recently recommitted their alliances to<br />

• Develop a coordinated reporting relationship with Council members, (e.g. annual/biannual<br />

presentation) in order to keep elected representatives appraised of the progress of the programme<br />

• Develop a coordinated and defined relationship with the relevant Local Community Development<br />

Committee (LCDC). This may include the submission of the <strong>Age</strong> <strong>Friendly</strong> Strategy for<br />

consideration and where appropriate formal adoption<br />

• Support the relevant Older Peoples Council/Forum in securing effective alignment with the<br />

Public Participation Networks (PPN)<br />

• Inform through the preparation of a relevant submission, the development of the multiannual<br />

Local Economic and Community Plan, (LECP) to be prepared by the new LCDC’s.<br />

TIP:<br />

Ask the Alliance members to nominate people from their organisations to<br />

an implementation group. The <strong>Age</strong> <strong>Friendly</strong> County Coordinator won’t be<br />

able to organise the launch and run the consultations alone. These people<br />

are likely to be health promotion officers in the HSE , community crime<br />

prevention officers within the Gardai, social inclusion officers in the local<br />

authority and other staff members in voluntary agencies.<br />
