A French version of Alzheimer Europe's new set of guidelines for the ethical and inclusive communication about/portrayal of dementia and people with dementia has been published, translated by France Alzheimer. The guidelines were developed in tandem with the European Working Group of People with Dementia (EWGPWD) and are targeted at the media, researchers, journalists, policy makers and anyone responsible for the portrayal of or communication about dementia in the public domain. Originally launched (in English) in January 2023, the guidelines are structured around 14 statements, each constituting a piece of advice and followed by a more detailed explanation, and in some cases by a few quotes from members of the EWGPWD and one from a supporter.
Alzheimer Europe is delighted that its member association France Alzheimer decided to translate this document and to share it on the France Alzheimer website and via its social media channels. The new French version of the guidelines can be downloaded from the Alzheimer Europe website:
