Practical dementia resources improvement project

The Care Inspectorate engaging with frontline staff who provide care to people with dementia to participate in the co-design of new dementia resources. 

The project is to develop easily accessible and understood resources to support the frontline social care workforce in their caring role for people living with dementia, who may be experiencing stress and distress, and their families.

The resources will support improvements in person-centred care to reduce stress and distress for people through appropriate assessment, care planning and meaningful connections and activity.

Initially a survey was widely distributed to frontline social care staff, followed by several stakeholder workshop events with the aim of co-designing practical tools and resources to support you in your work. During these workshops, we explored what resources you felt would make a difference and why.

Following the close of the survey we have collated and are theming your responses to identify what resources we need to develop. It is anticipated that the resources identified will be developed by the end of the year and these will be tested with social care staff in early 2025.

It is anticipated that the resources identified will be developed by April 2025 and these will be tested with social care staff thereafter
