Working at Amy Woodgate

No permanent manager registered yet, just an interim one applying to register.

At the time of our inspection there was not a registered manager in post. A new manager had been in post and was planning to submit an application to register.

Staffing is adequate but relies on agency workers due to recent high turnover and families say staff seem rushed.

Family members expressed concerns about the recent high staff turnover, the use of agency staff and staffing levels... 'The staff are rushed off their feet.'

Recruitment skips proper job interviews sometimes, so new staff skills are not always fully checked.

records were not always available to evidence the interviews being carried when selecting staff for the job... systems were not in place to evaluate the candidates during the interview process.
