Still Places on Advocacy for People Dementia - Mon 5th Dec

28 Nov 2011

The purpose of dementia advocacy is to assist and support older people with dementia and memory impairments to articulate, exercise and defend their rights and to fully participate in both the minor and major decisions affecting their lives. The sessions will be participatory and interactive and will provide the opportunity for practitioners to reflect on advocacy in the context of their own work.

UNISON courses are free to UNISON members

Participants will get a chance to explore issues such as • What dementia advocacy is and isn’t • How independent advocacy can support their work • Incorporating the principals of advocacy into their own role

Tutor: Dervilia Kernaghan and Danielle Given, Alzheimers Society
