Dignity Competency Framework
This framework was developed in order to provide individuals and organisations with a method of both assessing and auditing the ways in which their staff provide support that evidences and demonstrates a commitment to and practical application of the principles of dignity, compassion and respect.
Karen Rogers MBE from Herefordshire Care Homes has recently trialled the document within her staff teams and reported that it was both easy to use and useful it conducting an audit of dignity approaches within the company. Karen also shared that staff were at first sceptical of introducing more audit tools but fortunately the framework compliments the work they are doing to implement agreements and personhood care plans.
