The Quality Network is a way of working
together with people with learning disabilities, their families and
supporters to bring about better outcomes.
It does this by helping organisations to look at what life is like for the
people with learning disabilities they support, and to look at ways to
improve.
The Quality Network uses a process of review and action planning. This means
you will be guided and supported to:
•
Review your own service
• Find out what life is like for the people you support
• Make sure you use their ideas in your planning
• Find out what needs to change
• Decide what needs to be done
• Agree a way to keep on checking quality
•
Stakeholders (people who are directly involved with services either
as users, family members, workers, managers or commissioners) work together
in a small group to collect information and make improvements to the service
• People with learning disabilities are directly involved in the
stakeholder group
• People in the stakeholder group spend time directly with individual
people who use services
• The review is not a one-off fact finding exercise but is part of an annual
cycle of review and improvement
• The review has an impact for both the organisation and directly for the
people they support
Better outcomes for people with a learning disability
