9. Principle 1 - we are accountable to the people we seek to support benchmark 1.1 We involve the people we seek to support, or their representatives, and establish with them what long-term impact we are trying to achieve. Self-Assessment Question 1: How do we ensure that the group of people we seek to support is clearly defined and that we ensure inclusion and prevent unfair discrimination when selecting them?
Ask participants these two questions and give them a moment to think and answer – then go to next slide.
Ask participants to think about what they have just said – i.e. what their organisation does well and what needs improving – how can they evidence the good practice and how do they know what needs improving? Allow a bit of discussion – suggestions for types of evidence etc. This will start the engagement and thinking.
The NIDOS Effectiveness tool is a possible way of generating evidence of good practice and highlighting areas for action – part of the ongoing improvement of your organisation and how it works.
The Effectiveness tool was designed by NIDOS members for NIDOS members over a period of 12 months. It is not intended to duplicate work already being carried out by NIDOS members but enhance and focus on the elements of Good practice already being practised in addition to areas where areas of work which need to be strengthened.
Self explanatory through a shared approach.
