The National Policy for Older Persons was first developed in 2003 and revised in 2013. The policy will ensure that the requirements for healthy ageing are addressed and that older persons live in dignity and with security, free from exploitation and physical or mental abuse and treated with care regardless of age, gender or socio-economic status.

Work has started and is ongoing in communities around the island. We have commenced dialogue with the homes for the elderly; elderly community groups and other support organisations. A blog has been developed to reach a wider cross-section of the population and we encourage all Saint Lucians to bring forward their concerns, so your views can be incorporated in the Policy. The blog link is as follows: https://agepolicyslu.baldguyvisuals.com/
