DEEP stands for the Dementia Engagement and Empowerment Project – it is the UK network of dementia voices. DEEP consists of around 80 groups of people with dementia – groups that want to change things.
DEEP is:
- a UK wide network – it connects groups to each other to magnify the views, hopes and intentions of people with dementia. It supports groups to share learning and skills and to increase confidence
- independent – the network belongs to the groups themselves, not to any particular dementia service or organisation
- diverse – it is made up of groups strongly rooted in their local communities, including some in care homes
- rights based – it encourages groups to identify and speak out about the issues that are important to them (not only to be ‘consulted’ about issues that are important to others)
Watch an example of a DEEP group below through the eyes of York Minds and Voices. There are further films available to watch about DEEP here.
