This report from the Alzheimer Society makes an evidence-based case for mandatory dementia training for the adult social care workforce, demonstrating the benefits it can bring to the lives of people living with dementia and their families, care staff, care providers, and our wider health and care system.The report supports the ‘Train’ recommendation that all workers should have dementia training aligned to the Dementia Training Standards Framework and roles within the Care Workforce Pathway.
