What is the Dignity Challenge?
The aim of the Dignity in Care Challenge is to create a care system where there is a zero tolerance approach to the abuse of, and disrespect towards people using care services.
Even though we don’t provide care services, we at Independent 4 Life see ourselves as guests of our Clients while we undertake design and adaptation works. We are Dignity Champions as we understand the importance of treating our Clients with Care, Respect and Dignity, and remain committed to the ten point dignity challenge.
