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?

We have training within the organisation, in association with Dementia Training. All members of staff watch videos of example situations that they may face then discuss how they would deal with this.

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

None, it is a way of working in our stores to ensure the highest level service for all customers.
