The Enabling Good Lives principles
At Claddagh Haven Trust we incorporate the following set of principles into how we support our residents, as established by the wider disability consumers & providers.
- Ordinary life outcomes with opportunities to experience everyday life in everyday places.
- Support for our residents to access mainstream services, as well as specialist disability services where possible.
- Building relationships between the people in our care, their families & friends, & the community. As well as ensuring that our resident's abilities & contributions are recognised & respected.
- Ensuring simple support, removing complications to be able to provide support that is easy to access, flexible & caring.
- Tailored personal care. Recognising individuals & their own needs and goals, to follow a whole life approach rather than more goal-focused restrictive programs.
- Beginning early to build better support for both families & individuals, as well as support independent growth. We like to see proactive growth in the journey, rather than a reactionary support later on.
