- The Service will also provide support for individuals to undertake appropriate activities and access social and community networks to maintain or regain their contact with the wider community where this is identified within their care and support plan.
- The Service shall be responsive, flexible, reliable and maintain a person’s dignity and respect at all times. The Services shall be accessible and delivered with understanding and without discrimination.
- The support must be delivered in a person-centred way which is strength based and enabling. It must deliver all care in a way that encourages and supports Service Users to retain and regain independence whilst managing risk factors.
- The Service must be provided in a way that supports the Service User’s social, spiritual and emotional, as well as healthcare, needs
