What we expect from an Outstanding service Values that are centred on people, known by everyone, threaded into culture and practice. People’s needs and ambitions are at the centre of service delivery; in advertising; how people are welcomed; in needs assessments and staff training; how staff care, communicate and deliver. People’s Equality, Diversity and Human Rights, are not an “add on”. But are part of the culture and how care is delivered. (Person-centred care) Geraldine
What we expect from an Outstanding service…continued Culture of staff equality: The provider develops a culture of equality and human rights for their staff as a basis for quality improvement. This is likely to include both broad work to develop an open and inclusive culture and, particularly in larger organisations, work to tackle specific workforce inequalities. Apply equality and human rights thinking to improvement issues: The provider starts with a quality improvement issue, creates some space to innovate and then applies “equality and human rights thinking” to the issue – rather than thinking “we must do something about equality and/ or human rights”.
