Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 3

The person experienced encouragement from staff in involving them in their day-to-day care. A relative told us the services advocated well on behalf of their loved one. They attended meetings to stress the educational services they required, communicated well with their schools and pushed for health appointments which had led to improvements in the person’s well-being.

Staff told us the person had access to education, health and regularly went out both locally and further afield. They spoke about attendance at annual health checks and medicines reviews were completed. Staff told us, “If [person] needs anything then they are supported with that. They are now able to tell us if they have any pain and we would call the GP. We communicate with the school and family.”

Although processes were in place to ensure the person was supported to have access for their education and health needs, their health records did not have a comprehensive overview of the appointments nor their health needs. There were established communication systems in place with the school to ensure consistency with the person’s support. Staff were aware of the person’s enjoyments of using public transport and supported them with this regularly. Health care services were involved in supporting the person’s needs.
