Equity in experiences and outcomes

People told us that there were feedback channels available for them to use. People felt listened to when they raised issues of concern. Staff were aware of the need to be inclusive in their delivery of care. Training was provided to ensure awareness of diversity, equality, and inclusion. Policies and procedures were in place that covered Equality and Human Rights. The provider had also translated important documents for people that spoke a different language. For example, a service user guide had been written in Turkish for a person to ensure they fully understood and could be involved with the service they were receiving and how they could contact the office.

The management team ensured people had regular opportunities to give feedback about their care and support to ensure it was well coordinated and resulted in positive outcomes. We saw examples where care staff had gone the extra mile and had proactively supported people to reduce barriers within their community. This resulted in people having access to opportunities which improved their health and wellbeing.
