Guidance on implementing the Friends and Family Test
Revised Friends and Family Test guidance was published in September 2019 for implementation from 1 April 2020, replacing all FFT implementation guidance previously published.
As well as covering the new policy in full, the document includes an “at a glance” review of the changes from previous guidance and also implementation checklists for providers and commissioners.
