Workforce wellbeing and enablement

The Â鶹ŮÀÉ inspection focus on wellbeing extends to your own staff teams as much as the people you support. Whilst the Â鶹ŮÀÉ will look at this as part of Well-led focus, supporting staff wellbeing is also central to being a Caring service.

The following film provides a summary of this area of inspection. It can help you and your teams learn about what will be inspected and what is important to demonstrate to deliver good or outstanding care.

Introducing Workforce wellbeing and enablement

Duration 01 min 27 sec

The Â鶹ŮÀÉ will look at how you support the wellbeing of your team as part of the inspection focus.

It is important that if the service is going to meet Â鶹ŮÀÉ expectations, then there will be a need to show how you protect their own wellbeing. This is a relatively new area of Â鶹ŮÀÉ inspection focus and one which the regulator deems as important to empowering your team to deliver good quality care themselves.

The Â鶹ŮÀÉ will primarily look at the support you have in place to protect staff wellbeing and enable them to deliver person-centred care. The Â鶹ŮÀÉ will look at various ways that this might be achieved, including how you promote non-discriminatory practice across the service and protect human rights.

Be prepared to share examples of how your supervision and support, staff development and wellbeing initiatives meet the needs of your own colleagues. Expect Â鶹ŮÀÉ inspectors to speak with the staff team to understand how successful these approaches are.

Your wellbeing initiatives should extend beyond the paid workforce too, so consider how you support unpaid carers and volunteers.

There might also be some crossover with how you support and empower your workforce with whistleblowing and raising concerns.
