Policy Statement

This organisation recognises the importance of its staff working together in teams that provide consistent, high quality, competent and compassionate care.

We address the need for consistency, continuity and a free exchange of information between workers, especially:

during the process of the assessment of a person’s needs and the decision on what is required as a response
in the drawing up and subsequent reviews of a care plan
in the transmission of information between agencies, with due attention to accuracy, relevance and confidentiality
when an approach or formal referral is required to another health or social care agency in order to access further services
where the major responsibility for a person who uses services’ care is transferred from one organisation to another
in providing cross-organisation end-of-life care.

In promoting team building in {{org_field_name}}, we will use the opportunities presented by:

group meetings
group supervision
training sessions.

On this issue, {{org_field_name}} adheres fully to the relevant sections of the following official documents:
