The free guide with tips on how to provide LGBTQ+ inclusive care in residential care for older people
The CIRCLE care home guide was developed as part of the CIRCLE research study, a study exploring various ways of supporting providers of residential care for older people to improve their LGBTQ+ inclusive care offer. CIRCLE stands for Creating Inclusive Residential Care for LGBTQ+ Elders. The CIRCLE care home guide was co-designed with older LGBTQ+ people and care providers. It was developed for use in care homes for older people, but the content may be relevant for other care providers.
The guide offers practical tips on what you can do to make your care practice more inclusive for LGBTQ+ residents. It can be used in day-to-day care practice, in supervision conversations, and in staff training. It also includes a poster that can be displayed in the care home to indicate the home and staff are working on LGBTQ+ inclusion.
