We regularly keep a watchful eye over any government consultations that may affect you. Matters relating to age, education and training, employment, new government initiatives to which we intend to give you the opportunity to contribute.

This includes such consultations relating to national government departments - like the DWP, London wide bodies such as the LDA, London councils, the Mayors Office and local consultations. It will also feature consultations on such issues that are not age related such as nuclear power, G.M crop trials etc as and when they come up.

If you know of any such exercises that you would like us to publicise please let us by contacting us at webmaster@wiseowls.co.uk.

Although government and public consultations may be a sham unless we add in our progressive perspective from the point of view of older working age people we have no chance of being listened to and if enough of us make the same point to government and our political representatives we can force change or conserve what is good

Particular consultations

A single equality scheme – which we believe needs to be more active in combating ageism and representing the needs of older people – rather than age being the last in the list of equality groups receiving little attention, publicity  and little research and enforcement.
