I am writing here because the feedback part of the website specifically for carers doesn't work!
My son is under North and west CMHT.
I wish to point out that despite claiming to have implemented "Triangle of care", this is not my experience.
From Livewell website;
"What are the standards?
Carers and the essential role they play should be identified at first contact with services or as soon as possible thereafter.
Staff should be aware of carers and trained to engage with carers more effectively.
Policies and protocols should be in place to ensure confidentiality and improve information sharing with carers.
Defined roles (Carer link workers), responsible for carers should be in place.
Carers should be “introduced” to the service and provided with a range of information.
A range of carer support services should be available to offer or signpost carers to."
"Carers and the essential role they play should be identified at first contact with services or as soon as possible thereafter. " - This hasn't happened!
"Staff should be aware of carers and trained to engage with carers more effectively.
Policies and protocols should be in place to ensure confidentiality and improve information sharing with carers." - I wouldn't know if staff have been trained to engage with carers more effectively , as staff have never contacted me!
"Defined roles (Carer link workers), responsible for carers should be in place. " - As above!
"Carers should be “introduced” to the service and provided with a range of information.
A range of carer support services should be available to offer or signpost carers to." - Nope!
Yes, my wife and I do have information which CMHT would find useful re the care of our son.
