Gaps in dementia training across social care

This report reveals huge gaps in dementia training across social care: half of staff receive just one to two hours of dementia learning despite 70% of care home residents living with the condition. It argues that these shortfalls in training are leaving social care staff unprepared, unsupported, and putting people with dementia at risk of inadequate care. It calls on the government to build a dementia plan, which includes mandatory dementia training for care staff.
