February is Dignity Action Month
Dignity Action Month is an annual opportunity for health and social care workers, and members of the public to uphold people's rights to dignity and provide truly memorable activities for people who use care services.
This year's theme - 3 Little Deeds
Spread kindness, respect and compassion - promote Dignity.
As well as organising activities we also encourage you to think of three little deeds that would change the lives of those with whom you come into contact.
3 Little Deeds
As well as organising activities we also encourage you to think of three little deeds that would change the lives of those with whom you come into contact.
It’s about using our Heads, Hearts and Hands to make Dignity come alive for those with whom we interact.
Spread kindness, respect and compassion - promote Dignity
Your little deeds could be a simple as:
Greet everyone with a smile
We all know how important a smile can be in making us feel valued and acknowledged. It’s a little deed but can have an enormous impact.- Say thank you
Again saying thank you to someone is a little deed that can make such a difference to their feelings of value - Stop and listen
Take time out to really listen to someone. You may be busy but your little deed is to make them feel valued and special.
