package of respite for a service user's carers.
- The Service will also provide support for individuals to undertake appropriate activities and
access social and community networks to maintain or regain their contact with the wider
community where this is identified within their care and support plan.
- The Service shall be responsive, flexible, reliable and maintain a person's dignity and
respect at all times. The Services shall be accessible and delivered with understanding and without discrimination.
- The support must be delivered in a person-centred way which is strength based and
enabling. It must deliver all care in a way that encourages and supports Service Users to
retain and regain independence whilst managing risk factors.

emotional, as well as healthcare, needs
