Working at Beechcare

People were kept safe from avoidable harm. Staff knew people well and understood how to protect them from abuse. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it.

Staff told us they felt more valued and that the provider had worked hard to ensure management were visible in the service. One staff member told us, "There has been lots of improvements, I feel supported by [home manager]."

The service had enough staff on each shift to meet peoples care and support needs. Since the last inspection the home manager had recruited a number of staff and no longer needed to use agency staff.

People were supported by staff who received relevant and good quality training in evidence-based practice. This included training in the wide range of strengths and impairments people with a learning disability and or autistic people may have... staff had completed a number of different Autism training sessions, including face to face training.
