🛠️How to use the playbook

This playbook is a structured guide that outlines the strategies, protocols, and best practices for delivering social care services using co-operative methods.

It is intended to serve as a reference manual for social care professionals, local authority officers and community organisations, providing the necessary tools and guidelines to ensure consistent, high-quality social care.

It is also meant to provide context by highlighting Equal Care's experiences in creating, launching, and running a sustainable co-operative social care service.

How to use it

The playbook is a resource designed to be easy to use and modular. Its content is easily searchable, allowing you to find the information you are looking for quickly.

Search

This is at the very top right of the screen. It's AI-powered, so as well as asking it to find words or phrases, you can pose questions as well, e.g. "What is the purpose of Team Starters?"

Pages are nested, click the triangles next to some page titles to reveal the topic's subpages.
