Dignity Action Day – February 1

If you want to uphold everyone’s right to dignity, then Dignity Action Day is the event to take part in. Dignity in Care offers a 10-step guide – the ten “dignity dos” – to ensure individuals understand and uphold other people’s right to personal dignity:

1. “Have a zero tolerance of all forms of abuse
2. Support people with the same respect you would want for yourself or a member of your family
3. Treat each person as an individual by offering a personalised service
4. Enable people to maintain the maximum possible level of independence, choice and control
5. Listen and support people to express their needs and wants
6. Respect people’s right to privacy
7. Ensure people feel able to complain without fear of retribution
8. Engage with family members and carers as care partners
9. Assist people to maintain confidence and positive self-esteem
10. Act to alleviate people’s loneliness and isolation”
