The Joint Self Assessment

Framework

All the areas across the country were asked to do the

Self Assessment for how things were working in 2014
They sent it to Improving Health & Lives in January
2015

www.england.nhs.uk

Whats it all about?

The Joint Self- Assessment is a way of checking how good

services are working for people with learning disabilities
and their family members. It checks things such as:

Housing
Going to the doctors or the hospital
If the local swimming baths or libraries are accessible
How personal budgets are working for people

www.england.nhs.uk

What it includes
The big things (sometimes called measures) that have been
checked:
Staying Healthy- This includes lots of things such as getting a
good service from the doctors, chemist, dentists or when going
to hospital.
Being Safe- This includes lots of things such as in their own
home, in hospital or out and about where they live

Living Well- This is about lots of things such as having a say

about how services should would or being welcomed by their
community
