| Annotation | The National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health has developed new guidelines, "Dementia: supporting people with dementia and their carers in health and social care", for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE). This article identifies why social workers working with older people and their carers should be aware of the guidelines, which combine the best insights of health and social care. The guidelines are not only an invaluable source of evidence and advice, but they will also be used by inspectors, service auditors, stakeholders, voluntary groups and individuals to assess the quality of care given by social workers.
