The Quality Network for Forensic Mental Health Services was launched in 2006 with an initial focus on medium secure services. The Network has developed this third consultation draft of ‘Standards for low secure services’ directly from the ‘Low secure services: good practice commissioning guide: consultation draft’ (Department of Health, February 2012). In addition some standards from the ‘Implementation criteria for recommended specification: adult medium secure units’ (second edition CCQI 105) have been included. These standards have been developed with the purpose of forming the basis of the self- and peer-review questionnaires for the Quality Network for Forensic Mental Health Services’ low secure services self- and peer-reviews. The standards provide an accessible way for services to actively engage in ongoing service development towards implementing the Department of Health recommendations. This report outlines the development of the standards, the model of care, therapeutic and service environments, workforce, governance and equalities issues. (Edited publisher abstract)

A draft education and training framework, commissioned by the Department of Health, which sets out the core skills and knowledge which the health and care workforce need to apply in order to deliver quality mental health services. It aims to describe common skills and knowledge that are transferable across different types of service provision. Specialist skills and knowledge are outside the scope of the framework. The framework will determine the minimum standard for mental health education and training and help to measuring if education and training satisfies these standards. The core skills and knowledge are defined at 3 levels: Level 1: knowledge for roles that require general mental health awareness; Level 2: knowledge and skills for roles that will have some regular contact with people with mental health issues; and Level 3: knowledge and skills for those working with/caring for people with mental health needs. The framework includes expected learning outcomes, and will be aligned to relevant quality and regulatory standards. It will be applicable to health and care employers and also educational organisations which train students who will be employed in the health and car workforce. The framework is being developed in parallel with a similar framework for learning disabilities. (Edited publisher abstract)

This resource is for managers of care homes for older people, including residential and nursing accommodation, day care and respite care. It is designed to help put into practice NICE's quality standard defining best practice in mental wellbeing of older people in care homes. It highlights key messages for care providers for each of the six quality statements that make up the standard. The messages relate to high-priority areas where improvements are needed. For each quality statement there is an explanation of why it is an area for quality improvement and provides advice and links to resources to help care homes make improvements. Case studies give examples of how outcomes were improved by focusing on a person's needs. The quality statements cover: meaningful activities for older people in care homes; maintaining and developing people’s personal identity; recognising symptoms and signs of mental health problems in older people; recognising and addressing the specific needs arising from sensory impairment; recognising and addressing the symptoms and signs of physical problems; and getting the right help at the right time.

While broad in scope, these standards acknowledge the unique and complex needs of individuals, and the additional specific knowledge, and skills required in order to deliver a service that is tailored to the needs of each person. With the emphasis on caring for people with complex health and personal care needs living in their own home instead of in residential or nursing homes or long stay hospitals, the provision of personal domiciliary care services is evolving rapidly and reflects changes at the interface between health and social care. These standards will be applied to agencies providing personal care to the wide range of people who need care and support whilst living in their own home, including: older people, people with physical disabilities, people with sensory loss including dual sensory impairment, people with mental health problems, people with learning disabilities, children and their families, and personal or family carers.
