The “My Experiences Matter” resources complement the care recordkeeping guidance. They encourage disability support providers to think about the difference meaningful records can make in people's lives.
A group made up of disabled people and survivors who are central to the abuse in care inquiry shaped these messages and materials.
Together, they distilled the importance of recordkeeping into a simple but powerful insight:
"Everyone wants to be understood. Records are more than paperwork. They are how people understand themselves, and how others understand them."
The resources include videos, posters and cards that highlight the importance of keeping person-centred care records.
Providers are encouraged to view and download the resources here.
