People who move into care and homes have the same rights as everyone else to make decisions as to how they should live their lives. Responsibly taking risks is part of normal life. This report argues that although care homes can never be totally risk free, those that do not allow residents to take risks are very dull places and may be in violation of residents' rights.

Drawing on recent literature this article explores the development of research with family carers and people with dementia and identifies a number of themes that have emerged over time. It raises fundamental questions about the nature and purpose of research and the balance of power between researchers, family carers and people with dementia. Existing notions of expertise and knowledge are called into question and the article concludes with a call for a more empowering and inclusive model of research and practice based upon a relationship-centred approach to care.
