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 are a retailer in the town centre, through training/awareness sessions we will improve our customer services on how to recognise the signs of a customer that may have dementia/vulnerability. We would be able to support them if need be.

The company supports people living with dementia, and the vulnerable, helping them feel supported in the community.  We ensure that staff are welcoming, helpful and supportive to all visitors which helps people living with dementia to feel safe. 

 

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

We need further Dementia Friends sessions due to the number of staff and their different work hours. We also need to include dementia awareness in new staff induction programmes.

 Within our organisation looking out for customers with some sort of specific needs is a part of our usual services.

2. Actions

  • Improve our understanding of Dementia

    We will arrange for all staff/volunteers to be dementia aware to ensure greater understanding of the condition and how we can help.
