Staff told us, 'We are not short of staff here. We have people who have 1:1 support in the community and we always have enough staff to support them. We do not use agency staff.' Rotas confirmed enough staffing.
We found staff training was up to date, and staff always had sufficient supervision to ensure they remained effective in their roles.
