What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • 2(3)(a) Requirement 2(3)(a) Assessment and planning, including risk, informs safe and effective care
  • 2(3)(b) Requirement 2(3)(b) Current needs, goals and preferences, including advance care and end of life planning
  • 148.e Section 148(e): develop and maintain a care and services plan for each individual

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
