This discussion paper starts a conversation on what social care reform needs to deliver in order to meet the needs of people with dementia. The paper considers evidence from legislation, guidance, standards and frameworks that define quality care or drive improvement, from leading bodies across the social care sector. It also examines evidence from research hubs such as the Alzheimer’s Society Centres of Excellence, to understand the hallmarks of quality care, and how social care can best be delivered. It looks at personalised care, what ‘living well’ means for people with dementia, and the importance of social connections. It also considers how the social care system needs to be built to enable personalised care. The paper provides the foundation for future work, calling on the Government to set out and consult on a new vison for social care to re-examine the purpose of social care and start a meaningful reform in 2021. The report include specific national and local recommendations for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. (Edited publisher abstract)

The Dementia-friendly technology charter aims to give people with dementia and their carers information on how to access technology and provides guidance to health, housing and social care professionals on how to make technology work for people based on their individual needs. The charter, developed by a diverse working group led by Tunstall Healthcare, has been produced as part of the Dementia Friendly Communities programme. The charter sets out in detail what considerations community and primary care providers need to give to technology and what they need to have in place during the different stages of a person with dementia’s journey, including before diagnosis, after diagnosis, during a crisis and when more complex needs appear. It also illustrates the key components of a good technology service and includes a self-evaluation check list for commissioners and providers. (Edited publisher abstract)
