A new survey on dementia-friendly councils

In 2020, NALC launched a survey to identify the work that local councils are doing to assist those most vulnerable in their communities and gain insight into potential barriers to this progress. Following this, NALC published the Dementia-Friendly Communities guide guide, demonstrating the positive impact of building dementia-friendly communities and providing local councils with the tools to help them develop their own. We’re now undertaking a new survey to gather feedback on the use and effectiveness of this publication to inform a potential update. The survey closes on 22 July 2022, if you have any questions please contact policycomms@nalc.gov.uk.
