Dementia Awareness

There are more than 900,000 people in the UK living with dementia. 1 in 11 people over the age of 65 have dementia in the UK..

Diagnosis is vital to give people access to the care, treatment and support they desperately need. Yet, incredibly, 1 in 3 people with dementia do not have a diagnosis.

Dementia Training equips staff with the knowledge and empathy needed to support individuals living with dementia. The course covers types, symptoms, and progression of dementia, alongside person-centred care strategies, effective communication, and managing challenging behaviours.

Learners gain practical skills to create dementia-friendly environments and uphold dignity, choice, and safety. This level 2 course aligns with the Dementia Training Standards Framework, Care Act 2014, and CQC guidelines, ensuring staff deliver safe, person-centred care with legal and ethical confidence.

Suitable for care workers, nurses, and support teams across residential, clinical, and community settings, this training aligns with UK care standards and promotes confident, compassionate support for those affected by dementia.

This course is vital for recognising symptoms early, reducing stigma, and delivering compassionate, person-centred care that protects dignity and improves quality of life for those affected.

We deliver training both onsite and virtually, using experienced trainers who tailor sessions to your setting, staff roles, and sector needs for maximum relevance and engagement.

You can combine this Level 2 Dementia Awareness with courses like Mental Capacity Act, Safeguarding Adults, Equality & Diversity, and Communication Skills—helping to reinforce person-centred care, legal understanding, and inclusive support strategies.

Attendees will learn how to deliver our own dementia awareness course, with a view to them using our materials in their own internal delivery post training.  Every person attending will also be assessed in their own delivery by our team to achieve a formal sign off of competence.

We work with companies on a long or short-term basis, advising on how best to proceed to ensure changes are implemented and regularly reviewed.
