Please note that this DVD contains excerpts from a film made by staff in the Assessment & Review Team within the East Devon Care Direct Plus service rather than by a professional film company. Some parts of this short DVD are therefore not as polished as you might expect, but it does give a real-life insight into the team's work. We thank the staff for making the DVD and for agreeing to store these excerpts on our public web pages for you to view.

This film 'The Age of Opportunity in Devon - the Link Age Plus Difference' explains the work of Link Age Plus (LAP). LAP was intended to pilot ways of providing fully integrated services for older people. It was a Government5 initiative to tackle social exclusion among people aged 50 plus, particularly those who are 'harder to reach' such as frailer people and people from minority communities.
