David Pearson (President of ADASS) presentation to conference 2014
Dignity is not just about care but how we, as a nation, treat all with respect and make every citizen count.
Public services need to work with citizens and communities to add quality to life not just years to life.
Dignity is about being treated with compassion and respect but more than this - helping to maintain independence, choice and control.
It is about the sensitivity of services across public services, in families, neighbourhoods and communities.
