Key Finding
"Staff feel supported with stable long-serving teams and strong safety practices, but basic training and activities lack specialist programmes."
Safety & Risk
8/10

Staff had a good awareness of safeguarding... Regular auditing of medicine procedures had taken place... Risk assessments were reviewed regularly

Staff commented they felt supported... If we raise anything, then it always gets picked up by the manager
Staffing Levels

If so many of the staff have worked here for more than ten years... existing staff would be contacted to cover shifts in circumstances such as sickness and annual leave
