LGBT & Dementia – Training Resources

Scottish Care’s Independent Sector Lead for East Ayrshire, Arlene Bunton, has been recognised for her outstanding work in LGBT and Dementia care, recently winning the ‘Best Inclusive Dementia Care in Our Diverse Society’ award from Dementia Community at a gala lunch in Sheffield. Find out more about this achievement here.

Arlene has also been collaborating with Stirling University to develop a new resource aimed at frontline workers. This resource is set to launch on 27 February, with further details to be shared in early December.

In the meantime, an introduction taster resource has been created. See the document below for more information, with QR codes to different resources. Those who complete it can email Arlene to receive a certificate and badges by post! Please feel free to share this resource widely.
