The Dignity in Care Campaign

Launched in November 2006, the Dignity in Care Campaign aims to put dignity and respect at the heart of care services.

Over 23,000 people have now joined the campaign as Dignity Champions (people who have signed up in support of the need to deliver care services that respect dignity). They are part of a nationwide movement, working individually and collectively, to ensure people have a good experience of care when they need it. They include councillors, staff at all levels in NHS and social care, volunteers, service users, their carers and members of the public.
The campaign is about winning hearts and minds, changing the culture of care services and placing a greater emphasis on improving the quality of care and the experience of citizens using services including NHS hospitals, community services, care homes and home support services.

The challenge depicts what high quality services that respect people's dignity should include:

  • Have a zero tolerance of all forms of abuse
  • Support people with the same respect you would want for yourself or a member of your family
  • Treat each person as an individual by offering a personalised service
  • Enable people to maintain the maximum possible level of independence, choice and control
  • Listen & support people to express their needs & wants
  • Respect People's Right to Privacy
  • Ensure People feel able to complain without fear of retribution
  • Engage with family members and carers as care partners
  • Assist people to maintain confidence and a positive self-esteem
  • Act to alleviate people's loneliness and isolation
