- Articulate the needs of LGBTQIA+ residents.
- Examine how changes in technology, housing, and new financial instruments could support the needs of a growing and ageing dementia population.
- Articulate the needs of Ethnic Minority Communities.
- Consider the ability to information the information and advice available at the start of the caring journey - to help people have a better understanding of the caring role and can continue to lead an independent life, including work if desired, outside of their care responsibilities.
- Development of home-based support, to support carer breaks and for those that do not wish to attend community based social groups.
