Our Manager announced the new Dignity Champions, who received their new badges and certificates.

Wednesday 1st February 2017 saw a day full of celebrations.

We started this wonderful day with a Church Service to remind everyone what is the true meaning of “Dignity” and that it doesn’t end with your shift at your workplace.

All morning our staff had the opportunity to join an extra Dignity training session and everybody liked the information about the 10 Dignity-Do’s.

After our new picture of a Digni-Tree, a gift from one staff, was hung up, we celebrated the importance of “Dignity in Care” with our very own Digni-Tea Party. The kitchen surprised us again with a lovely High Tea, Luis Andrade played the piano.

Staff and Residents alike loved this day, which will remind each of us to stand up any day and be a good role model.

Becoming a Dignity Champion

Updated on 23/04/2016

A Dignity Champion is someone who believes passionately that being treated with dignity is a basic human right, not an optional extra. They believe that care services must be compassionate, person centred, as well as efficient, and are willing to try to do something to achieve this. So far over 70,000 people have signed up to be Dignity Champions, all pledging to challenge poor care, to act as good role models and, through specific guidelines issued by the campaign, to educate and inform all those working around them.
