What is this PAS about? Around 850,000 people live with dementia in the UK, a number that’s expected to grow to a million by 2025. We need to create dementia-friendly communities to enable people to live as independently as possible, reducing stigma and social isolation. PAS 1365 gives recommendations on how to develop a dementia-friendly community. Who is this PAS for? It's aimed at participants in a stakeholder engagement process, which may include:
Local dementia action alliances Community groups and organizations Health and social care organizations Commissioners and local authorities Businesses Local and regional governments
Why should you use this PAS? Government has assigned the Alzheimer’s Society the lead in driving the concept of dementia-friendly communities forward. The Society has introduced a recognition process for communities to support those that are working towards becoming dementia-friendly, which sets out seven criteria for communities to follow. Stakeholders across the dementia sector are keen to ensure that communities and organizations treat this recognition process as a continuous improvement pathway for lasting change and on-going sustainability to embed dementia friendliness into society. The PAS covers:
Who should be involved How to engage stakeholders in setting priorities Areas for action with the community
Without setting a prescriptive checklist of what to do, each stakeholder group is encouraged to determine their own aims, considering the needs of people with dementia.
