The Quality Network

What is it?

The Quality Network provides a new path to improving quality in services for people with learning disabilities and enables you to find out the reality of life for those using your services.

The Quality Network

  • gives you access to the best practice in the UK
  • provides experienced senior managers and service commissions who act at "Quality Coaches" supporting the local team in carrying
  • out the review process
  • supports providers to carry out an annual service review with users and their families and key workers
  • uses simple methods to look at quality, with assessors spending time directly alongside the service user
  • offers people with learning disabilities and their families a say in how their services are run
  • encourages providers to make an annual public statement and commitment to improving their services and to complete a clear plan
  • to do so
  • gives a Quality Network award to organisations completing all stages of the process
  • helps commissioners identify "best value".
