Dignity in Care

A national Dignity in Care Campaign has been set by Ivan Lewis Parliamentary Under-secretary at the Dept of Health as a challenge to commissioners, providers and local communities not to accept poor quality services and to take positive action to empower Older People and their carers.   
The national campaign also sets out 10 Dignity Challenges which focus on the things that matter most to people and outline the expectations of a good service that respects dignity. These challenges can be used by providers, commissioners and people who use services to see how local services are performing.
In Leicestershire we have developed a local campaign to:
  • Raise awareness of dignity in care and inspire local people to take action
  • Spread best practise and support people and organisations to drive up standards
  • Reward and recognise those who make a difference and go that extra mile
