Although registrations are not yet open, we are delighted that the lead authors Professor Richard Fleming, Kirsty Bennett and John Zeisel, along with the Acting CEO of ADI Chris Lynch will be presenting at the July Webinar next month to share more about this report, and how we can work together to create the much needed change needed to make our communities inclusive and accessible.
In response to the report, the lead co-authors have created a manifesto, with ADI, that calls on all of those involved in the support and care of people living with dementia to commit to an inclusive approach to dementia related design, at home, in residential care and in the community.
