Foundation stage and use of the symbol and supporters

• Foundation stage recognition process does allow LDAA supporters to use the symbol • Working to ensure that the actions supporters commit to are

reflected in annual self-assessment • LDAAs don’t need to be co-terminus with one DFC • There are DFCs that are not registered with the recognition

process or have a LDAA but we are working to map this and promote both initiatives in tandem to get alignment

Next phase of the DFC programmes work together

•BSI project to develop a code of practice for DFCs•Task and finish groups that are part of the PM Champion Group on DFCs – e.g. guidance for retail sector, employers etc.•Promoting dementia –friendly initiatives e.g. hospitals and environments •Jointly commissioned guidance notes and resources •Contributing to DAA quarterly and Annual events and webinars

Sustainability of the LDAAs and DFCs

• Dementia Action Alliance / Alzheimer’s Society to continue following end of the Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia

• Evaluation of the Local Dementia Action Alliance Programme• Engagement with the senior politicians ahead of General

Election• Continued use of website and invitation to Annual Event• Building up DAA Secretariat Network to share good practice• Considering options:

• Local members asked to contribute to local activity• Local Authorities / Clinical Commissioning Groups• Sponsorship of regional events

DAA-wide impact survey• 5 years of the National Dementia Strategy and 4 years
