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 />
