Raising the Standards of Dementia‑Supportive training and accreditation
Identity‑centred, emotionally intelligent training and accreditation for organisations that want to make a meaningful difference.
Founded by a person living with dementia and a former caregiver, DTA brings lived experience, dignity, and emotional intelligence to every level of training.
A future where people affected by dementia are recognised, feel safe, understood, and treated with dignity.
The Dementia Training Academy was created to bring dignity, identity, and emotional intelligence back to the heart of dementia support.
We work with organisations of all sizes to build environments where people feel safe, valued, and understood. Not through clinical checklists, but through compassion, clarity, and everyday practice.
