Good Practice Guide for the provision of Community Equipment Services - Self Evaluation Toolkit

This toolkit was developed in response to requests from local authority and NHS services during the consultation process for the Good Practice Guide for the provision of Community Equipment Services.

It has been developed in line with the evaluation model used in the Social Work Inspection Agency (SWIA) Performance Improvement Model (PIM). By utilising an evaluation mechanism already in use it is hoped that this will further support the mainstreaming of the overall evaluation of equipment services within the wider service provision.

It is intended that the tool can be applied to the Key Themes developed in each section of the Good Practice Guide, and used universally by any agencies or services involved in the provision of equipment.

Below are links to the Self Evaluatioon Tool along with links to the individual forms for completion of findings against the 10 Key Themes from the Good Practice Guide.
