1. The provider should ensure an appropriate system for support plans is in place to aid consistency and easy access of all people's information. Support plans should be detailed and person-centred to reflect people's daily routines and personal specifications. To capture people's outcomes, daily care notes should be informative and evaluative. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'My personal plan (sometimes referred to as a care plan) is right for me because it sets out how my needs will be met, as well as my wishes and choices' (HSCS 1.15).

2. Were it is deemed necessary and appropriate to restrict a service user’s freedom of movement, choice and control, for safety reasons, through the use of bedrails, you should ensure that the reasons for such restrictions are clearly documented, that people and their appropriate others are consulted and that consent is discussed and clearly documented. You should ensure such decisions are made in accordance with the Mental Welfare Commission good practice guide on 'Rights, risks and limits to freedom'. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'Any treatment or intervention that I experience is safe and effective' (HSCS 1.24).
