The Let’s Respect project was launched on 5th October 2006 at Aston University, Birmingham. It represents the culmination of over a years’ work, led by Nadine Schofield from the Care Services Improvement Partnership and Deborah Sturdy from the Department of Health. The project aimed to produce a ‘toolkit’ primarily for healthcare staff who care for older people with mental health needs in acute hospitals.

The national programme is delivered regionally and takes a whole systems approach to supporting policy implementation, encouraging the integration of health and social care wherever this produces better outcomes.
Social care programmes include work on older people, learning disabilities, the Care Services Improvement Partnership (CSIP) networks and core priorities. The programme areas include:
Putting people first - including extending the personalisation agenda, prevention and early intervention and improving efficiency;
Dementia - developing and implementing the first ever National Dementia Strategy;
Dignity - ensuring dignity is at the heart of all care and support, particularly for older people;
Supporting the implementation of Valuing People Now;
Carers - Supporting the implementation of the revised Prime Minister's Strategy for Carers and the work of the Standing Commission on Carers; and
No Secrets - developing and implementing the policy update.
