1.5 Methodology The key areas of this review were agreed with DHSSPS and mapped against legislative requirements, standards and recommendations for good practice. i. A self-assessment questionnaire requesting details of the practice, service provision and use of assessments was developed by RQIA. In February 2012 this was forwarded to all trusts for completion. Responses were requested to be submitted to RQIA within a six week timeframe. ii. iii. iv. Within each of the five HSC trusts, an audit of Carer‟s Support and Needs Assessments Tools was carried out by members of an RQIA audit team. Validation of the trusts‟ responses was obtained through discussions with key trust personnel responsible for the operational management and delivery of older people‟s services. Focus groups with carers were set up to discuss their experiences of the use of the Carer‟s Support and Needs Assessment Tool. v. Individual Feedback on the audit findings and experiences of carers was provided to each trust. An overview report of the stage two findings across the five trusts was completed in July 2012. 1.6 Membership of the Review Team For this review the team contained the following members: Brigid Barron - Programme Manager of Caring for Carers, Republic of Ireland Theresa Nixon - Director of Mental Health, Learning Disability and Social Work, RQIA Joe Duffy - Lecturer, Queens University, Belfast Brian O‟Hagan - Carer Angela Belshaw - Project Manager, RQIA Patricia Corrigan - Project Administrator, RQIA RQIA Audit Team members Adrian Friel - Alzheimer Society Caroline Kelly - Carers Strategy Implementation Group Linda Robinson - Age NI Eimear McKearney - Age NI Bernie McDaniels - Age NI Rosemary Patton - Carer 7
