Hospital and Healthcare Passports are important because they show what help and care is best for you.

We know that some families worry about raising a concern or making a complaint, so we have tried to make the process as easy as possible and are very clear with all of our colleagues that no-one’s support will be affected and tenancies will not be at risk.

A One Page Profile is a good way to share some important information with the people that support your relative or friend.

Open, honest and regular communication is the key to building better relationships and stronger partnerships between Dimensions and family members.

We want to ensure that the people we support have a good quality of life, doing things they enjoy with the people they like.

Involving the people we support and their families in finding and selecting their support team is an important part of a successful recruitment and selection process.
