Description

Wigan Council and NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board (Wigan Locality) are committed to enabling people to live fulfilled and valued lives in their own homes and communities. Central to this ambition is the delivery of high quality, ethical, asset based support by a skilled, caring and compassionate workforce. The Community Living Ethical Framework has been developed to establish strong, values based partnerships with high quality providers who share this commitment. The Framework will be the Council's primary mechanism for commissioning with confidence ethical providers who deliver strengths based, community focused support, while recognising and valuing the essential contribution of their workforce. The Framework seeks to support a transformed model of care and support that focuses on people's strengths, networks and aspirations, enabling them to live independently and remain connected within their local communities. All providers on the Community Living Ethical Framework will demonstrate: •That people have real control over their care and support, actively engaging residents, local communities and partners in the co-design and development of support packages. •The difference that they are making to people's lives through a strengths-based approach celebrating and facilitating people's gifts, talents and aspirations. •That they seek solutions that actively plan to avoid or overcome crisis and focus on people within their natural communities, rather than service and organisational boundaries. •That they enable people to develop networks of support in their local communities and increase community connections. •That they take time to listen to a person's own voice, particularly those whose views are not easily heard. •That they fully consider the needs of the family and carers when planning support and care. •That they ensure that support is culturally sensitive and relevant to diverse communities. •That they take into account a person's whole life, including their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs.
