Staff Culture
6/10

A staff member told us, 'It's been great since [manager name] has been here; she listens to us, involves us in everything and tells us we are all important. We have regular team meetings and supervisions now and things are much better than before. We work well as a team.'
Staffing Levels
6/10
✓
Staffing levels were sufficient to meet people's needs and managers recruited staff safely.
