The

individuals and families.

10.4

Alternatives Considered and
Rejected

10.4.1

Option
1 - Option ‘to do nothing’ and not update the care
governance or performance management framework. However, this would
mean that the frameworks do not evolve to meet the changing needs
of the service or the people who use it.
 

 

Option 2 – Delay
approval to enable further learning, benchmarking, and engagement.
Benchmarking, learning, engagement, and review will take place on
an ongoing basis to ensure it delivers what matters to people of
Sheffield and is responsive to changing circumstances. Further
changes will be captured in the next iteration of these
frameworks.
