1. Action Plan

1. The National Dementia Declaration lists seven outcomes that the DAA are seeking to achieve for people with dementia and their carers. How would you describe your organisation’s role in delivering better outcomes for people with dementia and their carers?

The Mall Shopping Centre – Luton strives to provide a safe and welcoming environment with excellent customer service for all visitors.  We want to ensure that this extends to visitors who may be living with dementia and their carers

We recognize that to do this, the Mall team will need to develop a greater awareness of the condition and its’ impact, so they are confident in helping and supporting those with dementia, their family and carers.

2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?

The challenges for the Mall Luton in delivering our outcomes are:

  • Time to create awareness amongst the Mall team
  • Availability of appropriate information
  • Knowing who to inform in the case of an emergency
