Financial implications
We will deliver an increased number and range of training and education opportunities for staff and our volunteers to embed spiritual care, including reflective practice in how we work.
Progress of the strategy will be reported to the Staff Governance Group and the Staff Governance and Person Centred Committee. Any additional funding will be agreed with Finance.
