Working at Champion House

Staff get training but some do not fully understand mental capacity rules yet.

Although staff had completed training, a small number of staff couldn’t demonstrate a full understanding of the Mental Capacity Act, and this was raised with the manager to ensure principles are fully embedded.

Activities are basic with not enough outings due to transport problems.

"There are not enough drivers available for the minibus. I find this very restrictive, as when there is something you need to leave the home for, there isn’t always someone available to support this."

Medication safety still has gaps like unclear guidance on as-needed drugs and some timing errors.

The information, included in some of these plans was not sufficient to inform the staff of how and when it was appropriate to administer these medicines. However, we did discover that one-time specific medicine was not being administered at the correct time intervals, which could reduce its effectiveness.
