Dignity Action Day

The National Dignity Council lead a Dignity campaign, where over 96,000 champions have pledged to promote dignity. The 1^st of February is Dignity Action Day, the theme is Have You Got Time for Digni-tea, and although every day should be dignity action day, this is the day that gives everyone the opportunity to come together to promote the campaign. Dignity is a human right and we encourage everyone to make this a truly memorable day.  Supporting Dignity Action Day will:

• Give health and care services an opportunity to share how they promote and uphold people’s right to dignity
• Raise awareness of the importance of Dignity in Health/Care 
• Provide someone with an extra special day 
• Demonstrate that everybody in the community has a role to play in upholding Dignity in Care 
• Remind the public that staff have a right to be treated with dignity and respect too 
• Provide a great community networking opportunity.
