  5. Launch Event May 2016

  6. Protected Characteristics • Definition comes from the Equality Act 2010 • age; disability; gender reassignment; marriage and civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation. • Socio economic status not strictly a protected characteristic ( Part 1 of Act says must have due regard when decision making)

  7. Publication layout Each chapter similar although amount of info in each varies and that reflect the info available: • Intro • Prevalence • Impact on needs of people with dementia • Actions/tips for commissioners and care providers • Case Study • Resource list

  8. Dementia as a Disability • Rights based approach • Social model of disability – environment disables • Rights based approach – speak of people with dementia as citizens with rights rather than victims with a disease

  9. Finally It is worth remembering just because an individual has a characteristic this does not mean that alone defines their experience of dementia. Many individuals will share multiple characteristics as well as bringing their whole life experience and personal context with them.
