The Long and Winding Road: towards dignity and equality in old age
Tessa Harding
In this speech to mark her retirement from Help the Aged, Tessa Harding MBE looks back at the progress made in the fight against discrimination. Despite some notable achievements, there remain many issues, often deeply entrenched in social policy, that prolong ageist attitudes and paternalistic policies that prevent older people from participating in society on equal terms.

Rights at Risk: older people and human rights
The human rights now enshrined in legislation should affirm the 'equal dignity and worth' to which we are all universally entitled.

This penetrating review reveals how deeply embedded age discrimination casually deprives the older generation of rights that the rest of us take for granted.

Research on Age Discrimination (RoAD) talked to older people across the UK about everything from shopping to sexuality and hospitals to hairdressing to find out how others see them – and how they see themselves.
