Any partner organisations must be able to demonstrate experience and commitment to innovatively work with individuals within existing self-directed support policies and approaches. They must also evidence strong skills in working with families of individuals.
Objectives for the Framework are to ensure that individuals have access to support that aspires to the highest level of quality and promotes the right of each individual to direct their own support. Key elements of success from desirable organisations include robust evidence of promoting and delivering:
- personal preferences
- fluctuating levels of required support
- an organic service to reflect individual’s achievement of outcomes
-continuity and consistency in provision of individual outcome focussed support
- creative approaches that ensure outcomes are
developed which promote ordinary lives
- innovative combinations of natural, paid and
technological support
- support that enables and supports approaches to risk
The Provider will provide practical and personal care over 24 hours a day and 365 days a year to the Supported Person living in their own home and will be in line with the service aims and objectives specified within this document.
The purpose of the Service Specification is to set out the minimum standards required to ensure that a consistent quality of service is provided to all Supported Persons who are assessed by the Partnership as requiring a Care at Home Service.
