Details
The health charter for social care and accompanying guidance provide information about the steps organisations and providers can take to improve the health and wellbeing of the people they support. There are practical tips as well as links to further information and useful resources.
There is also a self-assessment tool to enable organisations signed up to the health charter to measure progress and develop an action plan for improvements.
The series of short information sheets show social care staff how they can help people with learning disabilities to get better access to health services.
Each information sheet contains a link to the supporting slide sets.
