Dignity Champion
We are proud to be recognised as a Dignity Champion by the National Dignity Council, reflecting our strong commitment to dignity, respect, and person-centred home care in Weymouth, Portland and Dorchester.
At Neways at Home, dignity is at the heart of the care we provide every day whether through home help, visiting home care or live-in care services.
About the National Dignity Council
The Council helps to shape and influence the work of the Dignity in Care network and promotes, campaigns for, and supports Dignity Champions across the UK.
What is a Dignity Champion?
Led by the National Dignity Council, Dignity Champions are part of a nationwide network of individuals and organisations working to place dignity, respect, and compassion at the heart of UK care services.
A Dignity Champion strongly believes that being treated with dignity is a fundamental human right, not an optional extra. They are committed to promoting compassionate, respectful, and efficient care and actively work to improve standards within health and social care services.
By supporting dignity in care, Dignity Champions help build trust, improve quality, and ensure that people are valued, heard, and always treated with respect.
Why is it important for homecare providers?
As Neways at Home provides home care, live-in care, and home help services in Weymouth, Portland, and Dorchester, being Dignity Champions helps us deliver respectful, person-centred support that values independence and wellbeing—ultimately improving the quality of life for the people we care for.
- Promotes High-Quality, Person-Centred Care : The campaign supports care services in putting dignity and respect at the heart of care practices, emphasising the importance of treating clients as individuals with choice, privacy, and compassion. This helps homecare providers deliver personalised, respectful care that aligns with best practice in the sector.
- Supports Training & Staff Awareness : Being part of the Dignity in Care network gives homecare staff access to resources, tools, and standards that help them understand and embed dignity-centred care — improving the day-to-day experience of both clients and carers.
- Aligns with National Standards and Expectations : Dignity in care reflects core principles found in UK social care policy and guidance, which emphasise independence, respect, choice, and privacy for people receiving care. Following these practices helps homecare providers meet expected quality benchmarks.
- Builds Trust and Reputation : Registering as a Dignity Champion and following the campaign’s values demonstrates a provider’s commitment to ethical, compassionate care — which can strengthen trust with clients, families, and regulators.
- Encourages Continuous Improvement : The campaign encourages care organisations to look beyond basic tasks and to embed dignity in all aspects of care — from communication to service planning. This drives ongoing quality improvement.
