NDC Report on the Common Core Principles on Dignity - Jan 2014
Dignity in care has been of interest and concern for many in health and social care, for some considerable time. Almost every day there are media reports on undignified care received by the elderly and vulnerable people in care settings. Most of these reports have placed the responsibility for providing dignified care on the workforce.
The National Dignity Council carried out a survey amongst its champions to identify the awareness and understanding of the CCPD and explore the challenges or levers in implementing these principles in their day to day work. This report provides the findings of the survey and some recommendations for the future.
