Toolkit for Day Service Modernisation

The Valuing People Support Team asked the National Development Team to write a toolkit for Day Service modernisation, to help Partnership Boards write their Day Service Modernisation Plans. This is in two parts, the first has a 'vision' of a modernised day service, an audit tool, and some key contacts. The second part includes more detailed help on implementing strategies for Day Service Modernisation.
