The publication updates previous guidance from Scottish Homes that was published in 2002. It describes the current operational context of Care and Repair services in Scotland, considers contemporary issues facing the Care and Repair movement, and promotes best practice for the activities of Care and Repair teams across the country.
The Scottish Government publication, 'Reviewing Care and Repair in Scotland 2009: Report of findings of the review of Care and Repair' recommended that current good practice guidance should be reviewed and reissued.
This guide has been written in response to the Scottish Government review findings and is intended for use by all Care and Repair Managers, managing agents, boards/advisory committees, Councils and other stakeholders. The guidance builds on existing good practice and is not intended to be prescriptive or to have a regulatory role.
Jim Grant, Policy and Practice Officer, explains: 'Readers should take from it only what they need and make use of the other resources signposted within the sections of the guide. Care and Repair Scotland does not wish to hold back innovation or distract Care and Repair teams from defining what services or approach to service delivery is required locally'.
The guide will be updated regularly to reflect changes in policy and developments within the Care and Repair movement.
