How Maybo’s Dementia Care Training Aligns with UK National Standards

Staff supporting people living with dementia need practical skills that reflect current expectations for safe, compassionate and person-centred care.

Maybo’s Best Practice Alignment Review examines how our Safer Approaches programme for older adults and people living with dementia supports nationally recognised dementia workforce frameworks, clinical guidance and quality standards.

The review provides care providers, learning and development teams and service leaders with a clear understanding of how the programme contributes to workforce capability, safer practice and positive outcomes for people living with dementia.

What does the review cover?

The document reviews the two modules within Maybo’s Safer Approaches – Dementia programme:

  • Positive Approaches to Behaviour - Dementia
  • Safer De-escalation - Dementia

These modules are mapped against:

  • The Dementia Training Standards Framework
  • NICE Guideline NG97: Dementia – Assessment, Management and Support for People Living with Dementia and Their Carers
  • NICE Quality Standard QS184: Dementia

Detailed alignment tables show where programme content provides full coverage, partial coverage or falls outside the intended scope of the training.
