A Beautiful Garden Resource Pack

Resource pack

Introduction

This pack brings together the information and resources shared during the beautiful garden series. This series, which ran between September and December 2021, gave bite-sized tasters of different caring approaches to using evidence in learning and development in dementia care homes.

Preparing the ground

Collecting and preparing the seeds

Growing the seeds

The series was based around the idea of growing a beautiful garden.

All the methods shared in the seminar series are consistent with the Developing Evidence Enriched Practice (DEEP) approach. The aim of DEEP is to improve the lives of social care practitioners, people accessing social care and their families through promoting the use of multiple types of evidence in research and practice.

The DEEP approach starts with what matters and co-produces bespoke solutions to meet this. Solutions draw on key elements, that map onto the idea of growing a garden:

Growing a garden

Preparing the ground Creating an enriched environment of care and learning

The DEEP approach looks at how we can use evidence to inform practice.

One method used in the DEEP approach is to collect Magic Moment stories from people

accessing social care and staff members. You can find an example of these stories here.

This guide provides advice and examples about how you can use stories from residents as part of your learning.

Find out more about the `One in a Million' free training package to help people work with individuals living with dementia here.

Advice and information about supporting people living with dementia during the COVID-19 pandemic are also available. Here are two suggested resources:
