As part of its QualityRights project WHO has also developed the WHO QualityRights Toolkit.

 

Based on the the rights in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, this Toolkit provides practical guidance and standards to countries on:

How to conduct a comprehensive assessment of inpatient and outpatient mental health and social care facilities.  It looks at:
the physical conditions of facilities through to social interactions between health workers, service users and families;
whether the facility protects people from violence , abuse,  and inhuman and degrading treatment;
whether the care being provided is comprehensiveness, promotes a recovery approach;
the degree to which physical health problems of service users are being addressed;
whether services and facilities link up to education, employment, housing , social supports as well.
 
The Toolkit also provides guidance on how to report the findings of the assessment and also how to use the results & recommendations of the assessment to improve quality & human rights.
