NICE Standards

We align with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) standards, which provide evidence-based guidelines to improve health and well-being. These standards inform our approaches to mental health, learning disabilities, and complex needs, ensuring safe, effective, and compassionate support that is grounded in clinical best practice.

REACH Standards

The REACH Standards guide our approach to supported living services. They focus on delivering support that promotes choice, independence and inclusion for individuals with disabilities. By adhering to REACH, we ensure that our services empower people to live as independently as possible, with rights equal to those of anyone else.

The Real Tenancy Test

We use the Real Tenancy Test as a benchmark to ensure the people we support have genuine rights and responsibilities as tenants. This test ensures that individuals have the opportunity to:

  • Hold a legally recognised tenancy agreement.
  • Exercise control over their living environment.
  • Make decisions about their home, including who they live with and how it is managed.

This approach safeguards the independence, dignity, and autonomy of each individual in supported accommodation.

Quality Assurance

Following the launch of our new Quality Assurance Framework mid-2024, Venture People continue to be committed to delivering high-quality services. To us, high-quality is the ability to deliver the right support, at the right time, by the right person to achieve the best outcomes for the person we support. Our new Quality Assurance Framework is led by our Quality Team and is benchmarked against national best practice standards including NICE standards and CQC.
