Working at Comprigney Vean

Identified risks to the person's safety and well-being were clearly identified and well managed. Arrangements for the management of medicines were robust. Staff had a debriefing with the registered manager... to reflect on the situation and learn from it.

Staff were highly motivated and demonstrated a shared set of values. One member of staff had stated; 'I am hugely proud to be part of this most amazing team supporting [person's name].'

There were enough staff to support the person safely at all times. Rotas showed staffing numbers were consistently met. Any unexpected staff absences were covered, usually by the registered manager or another member of the staff team.

Records showed staff received comprehensive training which enabled them to carry out their roles effectively. In addition training to meet the specific needs of people with autism was provided.

The registered manager took an active role within the home. Staff told us they were approachable and available for advice and support.

Staff used risk assessments to enable the person to take part in activities which could be perceived as high risk such as surfing and climbing. The person attended a voluntary work placement at an agricultural setting twice a week.
