Community Etiquette
The Dementia Learning & Research Community was developed through a co-design process with people with lived experience of dementia, current and former carers, dementia researchers, clinicians and advocates.
Through this process, we developed a Community etiquette that guides how we interact during our events.
We are Respectful
-
We are respectful and will listen to what we each have to say.
-
We understand that it is ok to respectfully disagree with others.
-
We have different abilities, views and experiences and will respect these differences.
We communicate in many ways
-
We can choose the way to communicate that is easiest for us.
-
We can raise our hands, unmute ourselves, use the chat function.
-
We understand that some in the community may need more time and space than others to share experiences.
We are all learning
-
We will be open-minded to listen and learn from others' views.
-
We might make mistakes while we are learning.
-
We aim to be understanding of others' mistakes.
Please note:
This community is not for the provision of medical advice.
