Assignment task |

Your task is to research for and write a report on an aspect of
ageing well through the life course in contemporary societies. You will need
to choose a particular issue and/or a particular age-group and write a report
in which you critically discuss the issues around ageing well for that group.
You must agree the topic for your report with your module leader
by Week 5
You will need to include relevant theory, research and social
policy in your critical discussion of the issue/group you have
identified.
You also need to identify and evaluate relevant evidence-based
solutions (e.g. policies; initiatives etc.) which might improve ageing well
for your group or in response to the issue you have identified.
Your report must be 2500 words in length and written in
report format. You will be given more guidance nearer the time on writing in
report format. |
