Support workers filling out their new communication booklets today ☺️ Alison, one of our service managers, is a big believer in the use of communication passports for everyone to know how to work with a client, AND that we have communication booklets for clients to know how to work with staff too, which really is just as important👌
"That was a good team meeting, it's lovely sometimes to do different things like this and focus on one area fully."
