7. OVERVIEW OF OUR SERVICE

DELIVERY PROCESS ERS has in place a comprehensive process flowchart which maps out the full

range of activities in sequence to how we deliver our services. This may be

triggered by a referral or inquiry telephone call from a private individual or

from social services, we will arrange a convenient time to attend to assess the

service user’s individual needs. This initial assessment places the service user

at the centre of the process.

ERS will also establish to ensure that any specialist needs such as

communication the service user may have will be provided to facilitate a

robust assessment and process of care planning. The assessment is an

opportunity for the service user to discuss preferences, wishes and individual

needs.

Once the care needs have been identified, a care plan will be agreed with

the service user and/or their representative, and a copy of which will remain

in the service user’s home.

In addition, a comprehensive risk assessment will be undertaken to ensure

minimum risk to the service user and the carer. This will include the use of

electricity, equipment, lighting, security, tasks to be carried out and the local

environment. The risk assessment process will also focus on other areas of

vulnerability such as managing money and personal care.

8.1.6. ERS Behavioural Framework

ERS.’s Behaviours Framework forms part of the overall strategy for achieving our

Vision, Purpose and Values. The Framework aims to enhance both individual

and organisational performance; it is an integral part of day to day work,

recruitment, induction, learning and development and performance appraisal.

The Framework defines the effective core behaviours that all staff are expected

to demonstrate regardless of their specific role.

The Framework outlines the observable and measurable behaviours, attributes

or qualities that we all display when we approach our work. The behaviour

statements provide examples of how we need to perform our roles, rather

than what we need to deliver. The skills and knowledge required for each job

role are set out in individual job descriptions and regular individual staff

reviews are held to further define job roles alongside job practice.

Having a common understanding of expected behaviours enables the way we

do our job to be assessed and provides clarity when identifying how we can

develop ourselves further in order to achieve our full potential and to continue

to deliver quality services for our valued customers.

Every member of staff is inducted to our ways of working and ethos before fully

joining the main stream workforce in their respective disciplines.

8.1.7. Monthly Supervision:

All employees are required and entitled to a monthly supervision which is

conducted by their line managers. Once a year every member of our workforce

has a half year appraisal followed by an end of year full appraisal by their line

In addition to the Mandatory Care Certificates, staff will receive any other

necessary developmental training or support identified within supervision and

appraisals to further build upon the skill sets of our employees.

management team. All line operational managers will have an additional and

brief ‘grandpa’ appraisal conducted by the Managing Director.

10. QUALITY ASSURANCE

10.1. Continuous Service Improvement

The service is audited and evaluated against the Health & Social Care Act 2008

(Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010 and associated outcomes by the Care

Quality Commission. ERS is also required to keep the regulator informed of the

services it is providing.

Our quality management system is designed along ISO9001 standards. We will

be seeking certification in due course which will also require us to comply with

relevant regulatory and statutory framework in order to maintain the

accreditation.

Monitoring visits to service users are arranged by ERS on a regular basis to ensure

the organisation continues to provide caring, safe, effective, responsive and

well-led care and support that both meets service users’ needs and protects

their rights. ERS will identify and manage risks to both service users’ and staff and

will seek professional safety advice when required.

All service users and their carers are asked to complete an annual user

satisfaction survey which together with advisory reports and information from the

Care Quality Commission will be taken into account in order to promote

continual service improvement.

Independent monitoring of care quality is carried out separately by relevant

commissioning authorities with whom ERS is contracted to provide certain

services for service users.

10.2. Quality Policy and procedures

ERS has a robust Quality Management System which is developed based on

8 fundamental principles are:

10.2.1. Customer Focus: ERS was formed on the premise of understanding

who our customers (service users) are and being able to identify

their needs. This was crucially followed by identifying, establishing

Page 20: STATEMENT OF PURPOSE - ersglobalsolutions.com · Our Statement of purpose is being produced in fulfilment of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 requirement. This statement is reviewed

DOCUMENT/SOP/ERS-01-250 VERSION 1.5 / AUG 2017 REVIEW DATE: AUG 2018

pg. 20

20

and implementing robust processes focused and geared towards

satisfying our customer (service users) needs and exceeding their

expectations at all times.

10.2.2. Leadership: ERS Managing Director is committed to establishing

unity of purpose, direction and good working environment within

the organisation. Through this leadership, ERS enjoys an environment

in which all staff and employees are involved in achieving the

organisational goals, strategies as well as objectives.

10.2.3. Involvement of people: ERS is fully aware of the importance of

valuing the workforce. Each team member is able to recognise that

only when all staff are fully involved, engaged and motivated that

we are able to achieve maximum benefit and outcomes.

10.2.4. The Process Approach: The organisation has identified through its

core processes, (Process Flow Chart) competent management and

staff are carefully deployed to ensure that we deliver our services

efficiently through effectively managing organisational resources

and work practices, protocols and business activities.

10.2.5. System Approach to Management: As an organisation, we have

done well in identifying, understanding and managing our

interrelated processes to improve and upscale the effectiveness

and efficiency of ERS. This approach enables us to determine the

needs and expectations of our customers. Through this we have

established a robust Quality Policy, as well as Quality goals and

Objectives to ensure that we have an effective process to achieve,

measure and report results.

10.2.6. Continual Improvement: We always aim to be pace setters and

unrivalled in delivering our services. As such we know that there is

always room for improvement. The organisation believes that

improvement is not just about correcting when there is failure, but

also recognising the importance of customer feedback at all stages

of service delivery. From this a full learning curve and process is

Page 21: STATEMENT OF PURPOSE - ersglobalsolutions.com · Our Statement of purpose is being produced in fulfilment of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 requirement. This statement is reviewed

DOCUMENT/SOP/ERS-01-250 VERSION 1.5 / AUG 2017 REVIEW DATE: AUG 2018

pg. 21

21

developed in which practice is constantly reviewed and altered to

meet the highest standards of service delivery

10.2.7. Factual Approach to Decision Making: We have well established

and organised processes managed by competent staff. These

procedures result in accurate collection of data which we then

analyse appropriately to aid logical decision making. This means

that our practice is informed by facts-based decisions.

10.2.8. Mutually Beneficial Relationships: Through meeting our customer

needs and exceeding their expectations, we are aware that the

benefits of building mutually beneficial relationships are wide and

diverse. Achieving every service user’s outcomes means elimination

or minimisation of safeguarding incidences for e.g. the

commissioning Local Authority. This in turn enhances value creation

for customers and helps adopt further partner relationships.

11. REPRESENTATION AND COMPLAINT

PROCEDURE

ERS takes complaints very seriously. Our Complaints Policy and Procedures

ensures that our service users are aware of their right to complain and ensures

that all complaints are dealt with quickly, effectively and appropriately. The

whole process is backed by a series of standardised documentation in line with

our document control procedures.

A summary of complaints outcomes and impact upon service design and

delivery are collated by the Business Manager who is also responsible for

Compliance and Quality Assurance. The report is then tabled as a fixed agenda

item at the monthly Executive meeting. Any necessary actions identified from

these meetings are passed on to respective teams via memos, action plans, staff

meetings, review and supervisions.
