Today marks Dignity Action Day, a very important date in the UK Social Care calendar.
Here at Autism Care UK we are proud to support Dignity Action Day and to help raise awareness of the importance of dignity for people with Autistic Spectrum conditions and complex Learning Disabilities.
Back in 2011 ACUK's senior managers all signed up as Dignity Champions to pledge our organisation's ongoing and uncompromising commitment to dignity in all support provision. For us, true dignity goes beyond people's experience of support provision alone. Dignity is also about people having the opportunity to be fully included in society and having their contributions, unique skills, and achievements recognised.
That is why this year we have chosen to launch a web based Creative Arts project to mark Dignity Action Day.
Each month in 2012 we will publish the artwork of people we support on the autismcareuk.com blog. Each piece of artwork will be accompanied by a powerful message about the importance of real social inclusion and how we strive to achieve this through our pathway of services here at ACUK.
We hope you will enjoy these forthcoming posts. Remember you can get live blog updates by following us on Twitter @autismcareuk
