Age Sector Platform

ASP works across a broad range of older peoples membership organisations to:

• Provide older people’s perspectives into the formation of legislation;
• Increase awareness of, and improve older people’s understanding of legislation which affects them;
• Ensure that public authorities understand and comply with their statutory obligations as laid down in Section 75 (of the 1998 NI Act);
• Participate in the political and decision-making processes that affect older people at both local and regional government level; and
• Sustain a two-way communication process between Government bodies and older people’s organisations and networks across Northern Ireland and beyond.
