Person-centred care also means treating residents with dementia with dignity and respect. Question 2.1 Describe the role that carers can have in the care and support of individuals with dementia.

Unit 4222-244 Approaches to enable rights and choices for individuals with dementia whilst minimizing risks (DEM 211) Outcome 1 Understand key legislation and agreed ways of working that ensure the fulfillment of rights and choices of individuals with dementia while minimizing risk of harm. 1.1 • Human Rights Act 1998 • Mental Capacity Act 2005 • Mental Capacity and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards 2005 • Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 • Mental Health Act 2007 • The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 • Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 • Carers (Equal Opportunities) Act 2004.
