Welcome
This toolkit has been designed to empower you to better support older people living with frailty to maintain their independence. There are all kinds of ways that this toolkit aims to do this. From in depth, background research leading to our frailty fulcrum in the learning zone, to practical tools for use on the job in the enabling zone. The toolkit also brings to life these principles around frailty, supporting independence and improving quality of life through a series of Case Studies. These provide real examples of supported self-care in action.
These are just a few of the many ways this toolkit can help you support older people with frailty to maintain their independence.
Using the Toolkit
We have tried to make this toolkit as easy as possible to use.
You will always have access to the main menu by tapping the menu icon in the top left corner of your screen. From here you can access any of the content from across the Toolkit.
In the top right corner is the search function. If you can’t find a piece of content in the menu, just go here and search for anything to do with that piece of content. Be as specific as you can but its pretty whizzy so will quickly find what you’re looking for.
Finally, we wanted this toolkit to be more than just somewhere you go to do your job; we hope you find it interesting! Explore the Toolkit. There is a LOT to see and hear…
Keep coming back. We will continue to make improvements and add new content.
