Creating a win-win situation

Let’s take a look at how a good match creates a win-win situation for everyone.

• For the person receiving support, a good match is likely to make them more satisfied with the support they receive and improve their quality of life.

• For the person providing the support, a good match will mean that they are getting to do what they do best and having fun in their job.

• For the organization, matching staff with the right people can reduce staff turnover. The matching support tool can also be used to write job descriptions or identify people from outside an organization who can help to support someone to achieve those things that are important to them.

• For the family, a good match will increase the likelihood of the person being happy, healthy and safe, and reduce safeguarding risks.
