🛠️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?"

Chapter Menu

The playbook is not meant to be read cover to cover (but you can if you'd like!), rather, we suggest you use the left-hand navigation to find the content you are interested in.

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

In-page Navigation

At the bottom of each page, there are "previous" and "next" buttons, so you can quickly move between sequential pages.

Exporting and printing the playbook

You can export the page you are looking at or the whole playbook. Just click on the "Export" button to the left of the page. This will also provide a print option as well.

Sharing

You can share a page or the entire playbook by clicking on the "Share" button at the bottom of the screen.
