3 1.0 UINTRODUCTION Chaplaincy & Spiritual Care 1.24 UNOTTINGHAMSHIRE HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST UCHAPLAINCY & SPIRITUAL CARE POLICY 1.1 Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (The Trust) is committed to providing a fair, equitable and professional Chaplaincy & Spiritual Care Service (CSC Service). The service aims to provide for the spiritual and religious wellbeing needs of service-users and staff, within in-patient units, of any religion or none. 1.2 This policy is intended to provide a framework to ensure that the spiritual and religious wellbeing of both service users and staff are met. It is recognised that individual settings may need to interpret the policy in ways that are appropriate for that area, incorporating their specific operational guidelines and making reference to the specific memorandums of agreement that have been established between the CSC Service and individual sites throughout the Trust. 1.3 Overall responsibility for ensuring effective provision of spiritual, religious and wellbeing rests with the Trust s CSC Service. 1.4 It is recognised that all employees of the Trust have an active and important role in supporting the work of the CSC Service. 1.5 This policy should be read in conjunction with the policies and procedures identified at the beginning of this document. 2.0 UPOLICY PRINCIPLES 2.1 The purpose of the CSC Service is to reflect and meet the diversities within a multi-cultural and multi-faith society. 2.2 Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care is a needs led service that responds flexibly to the religious and spiritual requirements of an ever changing service user and staff group. 2.3 The CSC Service endeavours to provide opportunities for organised religious practice according to respective traditions. This could include corporate worship, celebration of festivals, access to faith leaders, and resources. 2.4 Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care is not only concerned with religion (formal faith practices), but also with the broader issues of spirituality. 2.5 The spiritual and religious beliefs of individuals will be respected regardless of whether they are expressed through association with a particular religion/religious organisation or entirely on an individual/personal basis. 2.6 The CSC Service makes provision for the spiritual and religious wellbeing of both service users and staff. 2.7 The Trust s CSC Service is committed to the active support and implementation of all Trust Equality and Diversity Polices. The Service will work to engage with and support the needs of those communities who have often been marginalized from faith communities e.g. people with mental health issues, intellectual disabilities and members of the LGBT+ community. 3.0 UIMPLEMENTATION 3.1 The Trust will actively promote amongst all professions an understanding and awareness of the importance of spiritual and religious wellbeing in individual s lives.

Actions which you may consider, where appropriate, could include ensuring that people with disabilities and non-disabled people interact, or that people from different areas of the City or County have the chance to meet, discuss issues and are given the opportunity to learn from and understand each other. 3 Human Rights Act 1998 prevents discrimination in the enjoyment of a set of fundamental human rights including: The right to a fair trial, Freedom of thought, conscience and Religion, Freedom of expression, Freedom of assembly and association and the right to education ISSUE 4 SEPTEMBER
