Equity in experiences and outcomes

People’s religious beliefs were respected and staff supported people to attend services where they wished to. People were also supported to access health appointments and annual health checks, in order to promote positive health outcomes and equity of access to health provision. People’s feedback about the service was sought regularly, and this was used to ensure they had experiences tailored to their interests and wishes. A relative told us, “[Person] goes out a lot. They are quite active and independent.”

Staff placed great importance on ensuring people were treated fairly and had equal opportunities as part of the wider community. They provided examples of activities people were involved in and the positive outcomes people had benefited from as a result of this. One said, “I love my job. Being with the [people] and the opportunity for them to do and try new things.” Another said, “[Registered Manager] is fair and you can go and talk if need to. She is bang on top of health and wellbeing stuff.” Staff helped people overcome inequalities in experiences and outcomes. For instance, they told us about training and guidance they had received in meeting different communication needs, and how they applied this in practice.
