Partnerships and communities

There is an inclusive and positive culture of continuous learning and improvement. This is based on meeting the needs of people who use services and wider communities, and all leaders and staff share this. Leaders proactively support staff and collaborate with partners to deliver care that is safe, integrated, person-centred and sustainable, and to reduce inequalities.

There are effective governance and management systems. Information about risks, performance and outcomes is used effectively to improve care.

Partnerships and communities

• We can demonstrate how our partner working enables us to deliver better care, support, treatment, and outcomes for the people we support.
• We value collaboration and partnership working and are committed to continually expanding our work with others in our community.
• We actively engage with the local community, helping them contribute to the shaping of our service.
• We document all feedback, including meetings and meaningful engagements with staff, people, and the wider community.
• We ensure our managers, leaders and staff teams engage with other agencies (including other social care services, local authority etc.) for peer-to-peer support.
