The Forum was led by Natasha Mitchell (Director) and Lindsey Goodson (Registered Manager) who provided an update on our recent Tribunal that took place as well as an update on the new structure and plans going forward. We were pleased that many were able to attend in person as well as some attending via teams and have some refreshments alongside our talk. Many helpful discussions took place and any concerns that families had were addressed. We are hoping we can hold more of these forums in the future and continue to maintain strong bonds with our service users families.

The 1st of February is also know as Dignity Action Day! Dignity Action Day gives everyone the opportunity to uphold people's rights to dignity and provide a memorable day for people receiving care. This day aims to ensure that service users are treated with respect, as individuals and are given a choice, control and purpose in their daily lives. At Mitchell's, Dignity is something we are deeply passionate about. We ensure our service users are treated with the utmost respect as individuals and ensure that they have choice and control of their lives. Celebrating Dignity Action Day will provide many benefits such as: Raising awareness of how significant dignity is in the care sector It gives a meaningful day for our staff and service users to make memories. Helps show that every person/role has a vital role in upholding dignity in care Provides an amazing opportunity for the community to get to know each other more and uphold community values. The Main theme of this years dignity day is Red! This means wearing any red clothing, perhaps bake red themed cakes.
