Working to ensure everyone presenting at any point in the system receives the right, timely, coordinated support.
The Every Door Open Co-produced Working Group brings together organisations and community groups across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, and Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire.
Every Door Open sets out to achieve system-wide commitment to the national ‘No Wrong Door’ vision for mental health, autism and learning disability, whereby everyone presenting at any point in the system receives the right, timely, coordinated support.
It builds on initial workshops which explored how mental health and drug and alcohol services can work more effectively together, so that people do not “fall through the gaps”. This need is consistently reflected in national guidance, research evidence and lived experience.
The group has finalised a SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) document capturing learning and setting out clear recommendations. This is supported by a shared pledge, signed by several organisations.
