Veteran Friendly Framework Programme

 

We've been asked to share details below for any of our members who wish to be involved in the Veteran Friendly Framework Programme.  Please contact Kathryn Glass directly on contact details below. 


********************************************************


Royal star and Garter, and Royal British Legion in partnership with the NHS, are working together to on a programme for all care homes nationally to recognise and support the veterans that they care for. It has been recognised that most non-military care home have unidentified veterans within their care, who are missing out on recognition, support, and signposting to a wide range of statutory and charitable services to support their individual needs because of not being identified.


This free of cost programme provides the full support and all the resources to enable homes to achieve VFF status and is looking at supporting all care homes to become veteran aware and receive recognition for its work.


The VFF also has a designated website, containing the VFF Application pack with everything needed to support successful completion of the framework. 


This work has been recognised by the CQC as a quality improvement initiative, and we fully support each home to not only achieve VFF status, but to keep an evidenced record of the improvements that they make in support of their Armed Forces residents, and their spouses/partners.


I would welcome the opportunity to chat with you around the framework and understand if there is any possibility for collaboration in the future.


Kindest Regards

Kathryn Glass
