The Integrated Care Toolkit is structured around 13 Principles providing suggested real-life applications. These suggested applications are further expanded into the 6 Resource sections.
We recommend beginning your journey by reading through each principle, as these lay the foundation for the practical suggestions and Resources offered.
We believe that the materials offered do not function in isolation. Rather, they form a relational ecosystem where Principles and Resources often interconnect and overlap.This design recognises that users may access the material in non-linear ways, downloading one section, referencing a single page, or engaging through a specific theme. Rather than requiring a full, sequential read, the toolkit supports fragmented or partial use while still conveying its core values and purpose.
The toolkit has been intentionally designed to be printed or downloaded to facilitate its use as a learning and working tool. To retrieve your copy, simply press the Download buttons in the left tab menus on the Principle and Resource pages. Please note that in the downloaded printable PDF, the Environment, Pedagogy and Artistic Practices resources include additional materials not featured in this website version. In the PDF, each resource will also feature an Easy-to-read Summary that recaps the main points presented.
For a comprehensive overview of all contents available to download in the Toolkit, please refer to the Download page.
While navigating the site, we encourage readers to actively refer to the Glossary, which is intended to clarify how specific words are intentionally used across the Toolkit, and reveal their precise context or histories. Words contained in the glossary are marked with a pink rectangle: care
A comprehensive, but not exhaustive, list of References is also included for your further research. This is not a finite list, but rather a living resource that will continue to grow and adapt. We hope you’ll find it useful to further contextualise the Toolkit in a history of varied researches and practices.
