The SDS Handbook

Supporting people to have meaningful and safe relationships

Skills for Care have published a resource called: ‘Supporting people who need care and support to have meaningful and safe relationships’.

The guide is relevant to all people who provide social care support to any group of people and it will help organisations to equip their staff to support people to develop and maintain personal relationships, in a way that respects peoples’ choices and values whilst keeping them safe. This guidance was developed with people who use social care and organisations that provide it.
