Ms Clodagh Whelan:

We did the first course for people living with dementia about their own human rights. It was called rights made real. It taught them about the concept of human rights, and how to exercise their human rights. One lady told us that she went home, sat her family down and told them things had to change - she had rights. That is what we are hoping for. People were using the information they learned at medical appointments.

As well as family carer training, we have to focus on empowering people living with dementia to ask for what they want, to ensure that they are not just recipients of care. That is really important.
