Regular reviews should be performed to ensure individual needs are being met and I do this during my 3 monthly care plan reviews.
Outcome 1.2: Explain how you support effective communication within your job role

This Is done through supervisions/appraisals and we also give the staff the opportunity to make suggestions in our staff meetings. Staff are encouraged to put any points they would like to raise in writing and hand to myself or the manager for team discussion at the meeting. Our clients have the opportunity to raise any issues or concerns at the resident meetings that are held every two months, and also via their
