The relevant body to satisfy itself that the LLR Carer’s Strategy is making timely and sufficient progress in relation to the stated priorities to ensure carers get the assessment and support they need.
LPT to continue to ensure the correct level, complexity depth of domestic abuse training for each profession is in place with the right balance of both on-line and face to face bespoke training. Training requirements to be explicit for all staff groups. Any non-compliance is rapidly remedied.
Regarding the Criminal Justice Liaison and Diversion service recording protocol; revise where appropriate the standing operating procedure taking into account those situations of risk even when the person is not a Trust patient.
