Adult Social Care and Health Policies and Practice Guides Project

Tender description

Reading Borough Council is looking to work with a suitable provider to refresh (and in some cases write) the Council's Directorate of Adult Social Care & Health (DASCH) policies and staff practice guides. The aim is to ensure that they are clear, informative and accessible whilst setting clear expectations of working practices for adult social care staff at all levels from senior managers to operational and business support staff. The Council wishes to gain the potential interest of experienced providers to deliver a refreshed suite of policies and staff practice guides for Adult Social Care & Health staff. The scope of the work is to review and develop the following: o Policies Overarching policies (documents that provide staff with the framework to meet statutory and legal requirements. E.g. Safeguarding, Finance and Moving & Handling) and o Practice Guides Practice guidelines (guidance that is sometimes called protocols / guides / frameworks / templates / forms or checklists). They cover work undertaken by certain staff or teams. Often it is the 'translation' of a policy or procedure into local language and within local workflows.
