Leadership and culture change
This section covers what needs to be included within local protocols to ensure that strong leadership supports ongoing implementation and improvement across services, and a collaborative and enabling culture is actively fostered.
What is expected?
Local Systems should enable:
1.
The development of an enabling culture amongst staff, empowering them to make informed decisions and develop in their roles.
2.
Embedding of anti-stigma and trauma informed approaches as a way of supporting better therapeutic developments and supporting staff wellbeing.
3.
An approach to ensuring statutory and non-statutory services are visible and valued.
4.
The principle of ‘it’s everyone’s job’ being embedded across implementation plans and strategies; in which commissioners and providers have a joint duty to meet the needs of individuals with co-occurring conditions together.
5.
Mapping of governance structures to ensure that change programmes across the wider system will actively collaborate and join up services.
6.
Leadership that is active and focused on learning and enabling, supporting people delivering services to be empowered to make changes and adapt to improve.
