Surrey Transforming Care Partnership Surrey People Standards Draft, July 2017 – Introduction The Government and leading organisations across the health and care system are committed to transforming care for people with learning disabilities and/or autism whose behaviour challenges services. The Surrey People Standards are part of Workstream 3: ‘Quality’ in the Surrey Joint Transforming Care Plan. The Surrey People Standards are intended to be practical and accessible and to: Help people and families simply describe what they expect from good support services Inform providers who are developing new services Be used by anyone to assess the quality of support services and plan improvements Principles The Surrey People Standards are not intended to duplicate regulatory requirements for service providers, such as those set out by the Care Quality Commission or Ofsted. Services will only be able to meet the Surrey People Standards if they are rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by their regulators. The Standards are outcome and experience focused. The expectation is that the service provider demonstrates how they are meeting the standards, with the experience of people that use services at the centre. The Surrey Positive Behavioural Support standards compliment these standards.
