Key Finding
"Staff feel supported in a stable team with strong safety, although no dedicated activities coordinator limits programmes."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
People were now protected from the risks of abuse because staff understood where harm may have occurred and took action... risk assessments were completed.
Staff Culture
8/10
✓
'The reason most of us have been here so long is because we are so well supported. We work so well as a team...'
Staffing Levels
7/10
✓
The staff told us that agency staff was only used infrequently and support generally was provided from within the existing staff team.
Training & Dev
7/10
✓
Staff had received positive behavioural support training... New staff received an induction... based on the Care Certificate.
Management
7/10
✓
People and staff felt the service was managed well and that the registered manager was approachable and listened to their views. Staff felt supported by management.
Programmes
5/10
!
People had opportunities to be involved with a variety of activities and could choose how to spend their time.
Points to consider
No dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes, so the role is mostly personal care with flexible support for outings and personal choices.
Staffing was organised flexibly to enable people to be involved with activities and do the things they enjoyed.
