It is designed as an individual development tool and can also be used by service providers for workforce development. The framework is organised into the following themes: values; effective management; right care right time; working effectively and collaboratively with multiple agencies; working with families, carers and friends; and physical health and health promotion. It will be relevant to staff in mental and physical health settings, alcohol/drug misuse services, social services and the criminal justice system. The framework updates and builds on 'Closing the gap' and the 'Leeds capability framework.' It supports the implementation of Public Health England’s 'Better care for people with co-occurring mental health and alcohol/drug use conditions: a guide for commissioners and service providers on the ground.'
