Principal activities of the company

Objectives and Activities The Company’s principal objectives, as described in its Memorandum and Articles of Association, are “to promote the welfare of people in need of support to live at home, and in furtherance thereof, but not otherwise, to provide support, assistance and services for such people aimed at equality of treatment and opportunity with other people within the community including without prejudice to the foregoing generality by, assistance in planning, arranging and co-ordinating support and selecting and employing support staff; designing and providing support services including assistance with personal care, daily living and social activities; assisting in obtaining housing and related services, education, training and employment and specialised support such as counselling or appropriate health care”. We a work across North and South Lanarkshire, Glasgow and East Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnerships to take forward their agenda of Personalisation and self-directed support, which seeks to shift the balance of power and control from organisations and professionals and build on the capacity of individuals to take greater control over their own lives and their individual budgets. SOL is fully committed to the principles of Self-Directed Support and Personalization, offering people just the right amount of support to live a life of their choosing that promotes their gifts and capacities in achieving their full life potential. To ensure full choice and control for the people we work for, SOL continues to develop an Outcome Based Support Plan for each person we work for. This ensures that we capture important information about people and support them to achieve what is important for and to them, in achieving a good life. SOL Connect, SOL’s technology enabled care service, continues to grow and to present the people we work for the opportunity to use their individual budget creatively by offering an alternative to paid support that promotes creativity, independence and best value at a level that suits every individual. SOL is a major employer across Lanarkshire, with a highly trained and well-motivated workforce that has built up considerable knowledge, experience and skills over many areas, as the organisation has grown. SOL has a reputation for retaining staff, many of whom have been on the journey with SOL since it was established in 1998. This is evidenced in our rate of retention of staff of 96%.

Company policy on disabled employees

Employee involvement and employment of disabled persons During the year, the Leadership Team has continued to engage with staff in a series of meetings about the challenges and realities facing the organisation. It is the intention to provide opportunities for regular dialogue with staff to seek their ideas and feedback via Staff Group Support sessions bi-annually. In recognition of the equal status of people with disabilities, SOL actively promotes and encourages the employment of people with disabilities who may apply for posts within the organisation and where a person with a disability can adequately meet the requirements of the job. Where existing employees become disabled, it is the charity's policy, wherever practicable, to provide continuing employment under normal terms and conditions and to provide training and career development and promotion to disabled employees, wherever possible.
