Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 2

There was a lack of involvement from people and their representatives in designing and reviewing care records to support their independence, choice and control. Care plans and risk assessments were limited as they did not include people’s preferences.

Staff and leaders told us they knew people well, understood their needs and requirements and promoted these preferences. However, knowledge around people experiencing inequity in care needed developing. We suggest the provider seek advice from a reputable source

Shortfalls in care plans and risk assessments did not account for the needs of people who were most at risk of experiencing inequity in care.

Planning for the future

Score: 2
