Did you know today is Dignity Action Day?

So, take a moment today and think about how important it is to have choice, control and a sense of purpose. Here at Healthwatch, we’re taking time to consider how easy it is for people to feel that their dignity is being compromised and what we can do to protect people.

Talking about Dignity Action Day, Dame Joan Bakewell said,

"Dignity Action Day highlights a more respectful way of behaving towards vulnerable people. The very old and the very young clearly need our respect, but it wouldn't do any harm to spread the dignity message across the population then we can all benefit."
