The new Stand-up for dignity - Dignity for care workers section is about improving the value and status of care work to support mutual respect between people who provide care and people who receive it.
The updated and extended Dignity and mental health care section gives practical advice (based on the latest research) on protecting dignity in mental health care. It also covers the threats to dignity that people with mental health problems might experience.
