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?
Luton Adult Learning will work with the Dementia Friends initiative to raise awareness of dementia and the National Dementia Declaration with our teachers and learners. The National Dementia Declaration identifies 7 key outcomes, 2 of these align closely with Luton Adult Learning’s commitment to raise awareness across the borough of Luton:
I live in an enabling and supportive environment where I feel valued and understoodI have a sense of belonging and of being a valued part of family, community and civic life
We will work to ensure that our teaching staff are informed about the Dementia Friends website and sessions so that they can disseminate information and support our learners, as well as learners recruited via partnerships, to promote engagement with the Dementia Friends initiative.
The Luton Adult Learning Dementia Awareness Workshop will be offered as a progression opportunity to those who have attended a Dementia Friends session and wish to know more.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
Cascading information to all staff in the short timeframes available.
Costs associated with generation of promotional leaflets/flyers.
