Working at Fieldway Care Home

Mandatory training only over 90% up to date with a push to reach 95%, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

The service is now over 90% compliant in relation to staffs mandatory training which is a significant improvement compared to even last year. We plan to continue moving in the right direction regarding staff training and there’s a big push to achieve at least 95% compliance in relation to staff training by the end of 2025.

Lots of agency workers used due to vacancies until recent hiring drive filled most spots.

The care home had been heavily reliant on temporary agency staff in recent years because of workforce pressures and having large numbers of staff vacancies. However, most of these vacant staff positions had now been filled following a successful staff recruitment drive in the last 12 months.

More reports of possible harm than expected in the past year, prompting this inspection.

We undertook this inspection because we received information of concern from the local authority about the higher than expected number of safeguarding referrals they had received in relation to this care home in the last 12 months.
