Short-term
Supporting the development of strong, positive relationships between family carers and support workers
Progress:
- Focus groups for family carers and support workers to understand what they would like out of a support worker-family relationship, and how they think this can be achieved, have been held by the CBF and Paradigm
- A resource that provides practical advice to both families and support workers on building strong and positive relationships to better support each other and the person with a learning disability has been drafted and is in review stage
Next steps:
- Finalise and publish resource
Medium-term
Supporting CQC to better engage with families, both during inspections and outside of them
Families shared that they are concerned about how CQC engages with them, listens to, and responds to their concerns about the support that their relatives receive.
Next steps:
- Write to CQC to ask what actions they are taking to better engage with families and set out how they engage with families during and outside of the inspection process
- Work with family carers to understand how they would like CQC to engage with them, and share this with CQC
