Closed petition Introduce Dementia Information Sessions on the National Curriculum

Closed on 24 April 2023

By 2025 there will be 1 Million people in the U.K. who live with dementia, which is a high percent and means most people will know someone, with dementia. Many young people would interact well, with having lessons on how to understand how they can support those living with dementia in all settings.

I am asking the government and Parliament to look at introducing Dementia information sessions across all levels of learning, because these skills in understanding how to better support people, are good to learn young and will help the students view of the world around them and how to be a better citizen. This could be incorporated into lessons about wellbeing and community support that schools deliver.
