Care Standards
Care standards are guidelines and regulations that ensure healthcare and social support services are safe, respectful, and of high quality. They set expectations for how care providers should treat patients and clients, ensuring dignity, safety, and effective treatment. These standards cover everything from staff training and hygiene to patient rights and safety protocols. They help ensure consistent, reliable, and ethical care across different services, giving reassurance to individuals and their families that they will receive appropriate and respectful support.
