The Faith Inclusion Questionnaire was designed in Bromley with service users to be filled in by anyone wanting to plan their personal development around spiritual and faith issues. Alternatively it can be used as a set of pronpts in a conversation to find out what levels of support someone may want to be able to fulfill their spiritual or faith wishes. The questions concern the various steps that anyone might need to take in order to access, for example, a place of worship. Along the top are different kinds of support. You can record which you would like by ticking the boxes according to your wishes. All you need to do then is decide which order you want to tackle the steps you have identified and then seek out the supports you need to get on your way.

Recognising a person's spiritual dimension is one of the most vital aspects of care and recovery in mental health. People who use services increasingly wish to have services view them as whole persons in the context of their whole lives; and spirituality and faith is a vital element in that.
These guidelines have been developed in order give acute care staff a simple introduction to spirituality issues within acute care. They cover six key issues:
- responding to the needs of the whole person
- assessing peoples' needs and risks
- different approaches in mapping spirituality and identity
- work with faith and spiritual communities
- blocks to responding to the spiritual dimension, and
- support for staff.

It is intended as a resource both for those wanting to find out a bit more about it and for those with a commitment to teach and explain its nature.
The context is described in the introductory chapter along with some of the other recent related work in the NHS.
