We want to work with our supported living providers to improve outcomes for individuals and ensure that everyone in supported living have person centred, strengths based support plans with clear outcomes, that support the person to be as independent as they can be. We want to work with people, their families and providers to:
<ul>
<li>Develop tech-based options</li>
<li>Ensure reablement/enablement approaches are core to services</li>
<li>Evidence Outcome based working is in every support plan and regularly reviewed</li>
<li>Support moves on to independence (where we can)</li>
<li>Ensure people are reaching their potential</li>
<li>Ensure services are co-produced with the people who live in them</li>
