Governance
At Potential Living we believe that effective governance needs to take place within an organisational context. One that promotes and supports the continuous development of our services as a ‘learning organisation’. It depends upon ‘ownership’ at all levels, the individuals we work for, our staff, management and the board of directors all having a part to play.
Effective governance promotes greater openness and accountability, and the active participation and partnership of the people who use our services and their family members is particularly important to us.
Shaping Services
The involvement of the people who use our services and their family members in ways which are meaningful and acceptable to them provides us with a way of showing accountability and a method of using the expertise that they and their family members have themselves. Focus People and their family members are involved in giving feedback about their own individual support and about services generally, including planning and improvements through their meetings and reviews, the Focus People’s Forum, Self Evaluation Group, and our various questionnaires.
