I am asking the government and Parliament to look at introducing Dementia information sessions across all levels of learning, because these skills in understanding how to better support people, are good to learn young and will help the students view of the world around them and how to be a better citizen. This could be incorporated into lessons about wellbeing and community support that schools deliver.
