Here’s what the CQC had to say about PIPS:
Staff supported people to have the maximum possible independence, choice and control over their own lives. Staff focused on people’s strengths and promoted what they could do, so people had a fulfilling and meaningful everyday life. Staff supported people to make decisions following best practice in decision-making. Staff communicated with people in ways that met their needs.
Individual PBS plans were in place and were being developed further. Staff were knowledgeable about people’s needs and were actively involved in developing the PBS plans.
