Rationale

All staff should be able to contribute to the development and updating of the ICP. Involving staff in the early stages of ICP development should be supplemented by the regular gathering of feedback from staff once ICP care is introduced. This allows for updating and improvement of the ICP in line with daily practicalities and will improve participation from frontline staff.

Just as important is the gathering of feedback from children, young people and their parents/carers about their experience of having their care delivered through an ICP. As a minimum, an annual survey of staff, children, young people and their parents/carers should be conducted and the results fed into the process of updating the ICPs.
