Getting it right for everyone (GIRFE) toolkit

A toolkit for practitioners to help adults in Scotland.


My team

My Team helps track everyone who supports a person. Many people get help from lots of different people.  This could be doctors, nurses, social workers, groups in the community, family and friends. 

This tool records who is part of that support network.

You can find information to help carers on the mygov.scot website.

Benefits

  • makes it easier to share who is in someone's support network
  • helps identify gaps in support
  • helps professionals work together better

How to use it

  • the person fills it out with help from a professional or trusted person
  • it should be flexible and updated when things change
  • with consent, share it with everyone in the support team

Who to include

  • main care providers (both informal and formal)
  • people the person contacts less often for support
  • anyone who needs updates about changes
