How we add value
The Care Aims Framework helps practitioners in health, social care and education improve their services. We facilitate and enable clients to develop their own competencies and achieve their own successes by working in partnership with leaders and practitioners to enable them to achieve high-quality services and effective governance through robust reasoning, decision-making, risk management and reflective practice.
The Care Aims Framework is a philosophy that has proven to be extremely versatile and can be adapted to any practise, context, team structure or professional group. Because it focuses on outcomes for clients, it leaves the practitioner free to vary the detail of the intervention offered, making it applicable across a broad range of disciplines and of benefit to practitioners, managers and commissioners.

Background
The Care Aims Framework was developed by Kate Malcomess, a highly experienced practitioner and public-sector manager.

In 2000, she set up her own consultancy to deliver the benefits of the Care Aim Framework to all public-sector bodies wanting to deliver better outcomes for their users, their staff and their organisations.
