Dignity in care: input assessment - DH interventions (10th November 2009)
In May 2009, Opinion Leader were commissioned to undertake an independent review of the Dignity in Care Campaign.
The review aims to answer whether or not the campaign is making a difference to the way services are being provided and commissioned across health, social care, local authorities and the independent sector and the way people experience care.
One of the key objectives set out in the tender specification for the review, was to understand and describe from the viewpoints of a range of stakeholders, which specific interventions or activities at national or local level have worked or not worked well in the campaign and why.
This report sets out the range of interventions employed by DH in taking forward the Dignity in Care Campaign to support Opinion Leader’s analysis of interventions at a national level.

The real cost of quality care and support (9th November 2009)
The research report, The real cost of quality care and support, is published by the National Care Forum and Counsel and Care as a response to the green paper on the future funding of care. The two organisations say that more resources are needed to fund better quality care.
The report found that care services with high star ratings spend up to 20% more on staff and their training, development and management, as well as putting service users at the centre of everything they do. Not-for-profit providers consistently get better quality ratings.
