Getting it right for everyone (GIRFE)

Getting it right for everyone (GIRFE) is a proposed multi-agency approach of support and services from young adulthood to end of life care. We are co-designing GIRFE with place-based pathfinders.

GIRFE is about providing a more personalised way to access help and support when it is needed.

It will place the person at the centre of all the decision making that affects them, with a joined-up consistent approach regardless of the support needed at any stage of life.

GIRFE will form the future practice model of all health, social care and public sector professionals and shape the design and delivery of services, ensuring that people’s needs are met.

GIRFE:

• Builds on existing adult best practice and learning from Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC).
• Will provide a national practice model to embed inter-agency working.
• Does not replace the Community Health and Social Care Integrated Services Framework, but provides a model to deliver the framework that supports person centred outcomes.
• Is part of a programme to improve population health and wellbeing, reduce health inequalities and create sustainable health and care services. Read more: Care and Wellbeing Portfolio Board.
