Working at Education and Services for People with Autism Limited - 7 The Cedars

Staff understood and managed risks well. Care files clearly set out what risks people faced and how best to support them. Staff were clear about their safeguarding responsibilities and were well supported and trained by the provider.

The culture was supportive and open. Staff felt they could raise concerns if they had any. Staff worked well together and there was a strong team ethic, with staff celebrating the contributions of others.

There were sufficient staff to safely meet people's needs. The service did not use agency staff. Staff confirmed they worked well as a team to ensure people received care from staff they felt safe with.

Staff received a range of bespoke training that helped them identify health and wellbeing issues at the earliest stage. The registered manager developed a number of these training modules, incorporating current best practice.

The registered manager led the service well and shaped the culture. They were proactive in their external engagement work and ensured all these projects had improved outcomes for people at the heart of them.
