People are supported and enabled to make informed decisions
through provision of accessible information.
The team manager ensures team standards for dignity are at the
‘same as you want for yourself’ level at all times e.g. through
observation and practice.
People are involved in how the service is run.
Ask every time ‘is this the best we can do?’
