Quality Compliance Systems (QCS), the provider of content, guidance and standards for the social care sector, has updated its suite of best-practice tools and resources. QCS stated its refreshed tailored policies aim to deliver clear direction and guidance to promote best practices and positive outcomes.

The company offers a library of resources on topics such as enhancing wellbeing, promotion of independence and tenancy agreements. Additional topics have been added such as positive behaviour support and communication. QCS said it has also streamlined the suite, used more inclusive language and updated titles to ensure the content is appropriate for supported living providers.

Damaris Daniels, content director at QCS, said: “When services are steeped in regulation and best practice, the sector can be empowering and change lives for the better, enabling individuals to live the life they choose – rather than the life that has been chosen for them.”

The government says that supported living services provide hundreds of thousands of people with “a safe, stable and supportive place to live”. Barry Price, QCS specialist contributor, said that ensuring this is the case is easier said than done. “It requires teams to embrace a person-centred culture of best practice learning, which ultimately reflects in organisational policies and procedures such as support plans.”
