SCIE seeks to work with top performers in social services
03 December 2007
Responding to the news that the performance of social services for adults has improved for the fifth successive year, Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) chair, Allan Bowman said:
“People who use social services will be pleased to see this steady overall improvement – and in particular the increase in the number of councils being rated as excellent. The Social Care Institute for Excellence is keen to work with these top performers to identify and share their best practice with the wider social care sector. We will be contacting those who have moved up to a three-star rating to learn more about the improvements they have made.
“Strong leadership, involvement of people who use services, and multi-agency working are clearly central to delivering excellent care. SCIE is already sharing best practice in these areas through our people management network, participation guides, and joint guidelines with the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).”
