New Briefing on Stigma in Housing, Health and Social Care Delivery

The first year of the Intersectional Stigma of Place-Based Ageing (ISPA) project focused on conducting a full evidence review of the academic literature around place, age and disability, exploring and understanding stigma.

This briefing shows how stigma can lead to increased barriers to services, exclusion, and negative experiences, particularly for older and disabled people.

This document aims to extract the key points for housing, health and social care practitioners specifically to show the power of stigma, its impact on older and disabled people and recommendations for how it can be tackled within policy and practice.

If you found this of interest, we are delighted to advise that the University of Stirling ISPA principal investigator, Dr Vikki Mcall, will be speaking at this month's Housing LIN virtual Summit on Friday, 1 March at the session entitled: Inclusive Spaces: Retrofitting to Adapt our Homes for 21st Century Standards
