Getting it right for everyone (GIRFE) toolkit
A toolkit for practitioners to help adults in Scotland.
How to use the team around the person toolkit
The Getting It Right For Everyone (GIRFE) Toolkit is a guide that shows you how to embed the principles into practice.
You can use this toolkit in order, or you can select the sections you need to support the person you are helping.
The most important thing is to always involve the person you are supporting (or someone who helps them make decisions) in what happens with their care and support. Doing this, and bringing different experts together around the person, will create the best support plan. This plan will support the whole person and help them live their life as fully and happily as possible.
There are 10 different tools in this kit, and each one focuses on a different part of the support plan. You can change these tools to fit the needs of your local area, as long as they still follow the main ideas of GIRFE.
Forms are available to download and print out.
