Age UK has established a regular cycle of policy development. This includes engagement with partners through the Public Policy Panel and with a wider group of stakeholders, including forum members and representatives from other bodies through a Policy Sounding Board.

We regularly carry our Public Policy Reviews, undertaking evidence reviews and where appropriate commissioning new research. At the same time, we ensure there is continuing engagement with older people.

Age UK has agreed policy positions on a wide range of public policy issues.
