Equity in experiences and outcomes
Staff and leaders actively listened to information about people who are most likely to experience inequality in experience or outcomes and tailored their care, support and treatment in response to this.
Processes were in place to ensure people had equity in outcomes. Care plans highlighted people’s diverse needs, including their religions, culture and sexuality. Staff received equality diversity and inclusion training to give them an understanding of the context in which they worked. We saw examples where people’s culture was respected and embraced. For example, menu choices reflected people’s individual preferences. Staff had training in supporting people who lived with dementia and adapted their communication style according to people’s needs. The service had promoted the use of translator ear buds for 1 person, who spoke a different language to staff. The registered manager told us this had meant the person had been able to clearly communicate their wishes and preferences and directly led to improvements in their care and social opportunities.
