Working at Acorn Meadow

There were systems in place to keep people safe and there was an open and transparent culture. However, aspects of recording and review in relation to risk management needed to be more robust in some cases.

Overall, staff felt there was usually enough staff to meet people’s needs and said things had stabilised with less agency staff being used following a recruitment drive. They told us, “There is generally enough staff” and “Overall there is enough staff, you could always do with extra member of staff.”

Whilst staff felt supported and liaised regularly with managers, they had not all received supervision in line with the provider’s policy. supervision/appraisals had not always been carried out in line with the provider's policy.
