How to self-certify with EADDAT Tier 2
Using DSDC’s Environments for Ageing and Dementia Design Assessment Tool (EADDAT) Tier 2 to self-certify is a great way to understand how your space is supporting an ageing population and people living with dementia. Tier 2 of EADDAT is the intermediate level, so it’s more in depth than Tier 1, but you don’t need any training prior to use, and it is suitable for any environment.
How to self-certify with EADDAT Tier 1
Using DSDC’s Environments for Ageing and Dementia Design Assessment Tool (EADDAT) Tier 1 to self-certify is a great way to understand how your space is supporting an ageing population and people living with dementia. Tier 1 of EADDAT is the entry level, so it’s an easily accessible place to start and suitable for any environment.
