| Annotation | This document states service standards which should be matched or exceeded by any Sense service offering residential, daytime or vocational provision for adults and children with congenital and acquired deafblindness. Standard statements, with performance criteria, and evidence or information sources are organised under five section headings. Section 1 concerns planning and managing resources; and Section 2, the suitability, accessibility, safety and health aspects of the home, community, learning and work environment. Section 3 considers assessment and individual planning: referral; pre and entry information; assessment; needs identified; individual programme agreed; implementation; review; and participation of user and stakeholders. Privacy, dignity, independence, choice, rights, and fulfilment are considered in Section 4 on general principles of quality care. Section 5 deals with specialist principles of working with deafblind people: promoting maximum use of residual senses; communication; movement and mobility; environmental adaptations; and relationships. The standards are to be applied to all parts of an organisation's activities which impact on service delivery to the user. (RH). |
