Involving and engaging people with dementia: Practice Tool (2015)
It is increasingly common practice for people to be involved in the services they use, the care they receive and the kind of society in which they wish to live. There have been a number of social movements over the years that have secured the rights of people to have their voices heard and to be engaged and involved in the issues that are important to them (for example, the civil rights movement, gay rights). In health and social care settings people with learning disabilities and people who experience poor mental health, for example, are becoming more involved in shaping services and the development of strategies. “Nothing about us without us” has been a campaigning statement for many service user groups (for example, the National Survivors’ Network).
