- To participate in and implement learning which develops one's own emotional self-awareness and a person-centred approach towards others.

- To meet an individual's physical and personal care needs to a high-quality standard and with sensitivity, dignity and respect.

- To undertake and meet all legal requirements within the context of promoting individuals' rights and measuring / reducing elements of risk.

- To know how to and demonstrate evidence of increasing individuals' wellbeing and reducing ill-being.

- To support families, friends and supporters of people experiencing a dementia balancing this with the promotion of a person-centred approach to individuals.

- To create a happy, homely and stimulating environment for family members, based on individual life-style choices and the interests of the family members.
