Within The Kingswood Centre all service users and their families are encouraged and supported to enable their full and continuous participation in the Care Programme Approach. This multi-disciplinary, multi-agency process ensures complete assessment and treatment planning, and seeks to ensure the comprehensive provision of current and future services and support.
Service users and their families or carers are seen as an integral part of the care process, and are encouraged to regularly attend and contribute to clinical team meetings and reviews, inpatient treatment and post-discharge planning.
The service is founded on a person-centred approach based on the principles of “Valuing People” which are rights, independence, choice and inclusion. We are, therefore, committed to sustaining, developing and supporting close engagement with service users’ families, their existing and future community support networks. We endeavour to ensure the full participation of the service user as a valued and integral member of the wider community wherever and whenever possible.
