Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 3

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.

Relatives told us their family members had access to health care when needed and did not experience inequalities. There were multi-disciplinary records in place and regular reviews of people’s care plans and risk assessments to ensure they were a true reflection of people’s current and changing needs.

The service continued to engage well in the safeguarding process, raising safeguarding alerts in line with the local framework, and working well with local safeguarding professionals. Any lessons learnt throughout this process were identified and shared with all stakeholders to evidence positive outcomes for people.
