Key Finding
"Staff feel supported by approachable management with strong safety practices and good training, but outdated criminal record checks and basic activities need improvement."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
Medicines were managed effectively. Comprehensive risk management plans were in place. Staff understood how to identify and report any abuse concerns.
Staff Culture
7/10
✓
Staff we spoke with described a positive and inclusive culture within the service. They told us they felt able to speak openly with the registered manager and said he was approachable.
Staffing Levels
5/10
!
There were adequate levels of staffing to safely meet people's needs but in two of five staff records, criminal records checks were more than three years old.
Training & Dev
7/10
✓
Staff received regular training to maintain and update their knowledge and skills. Records showed that staff had also obtained national vocational qualifications (NVQ) in health and social care.
Management
7/10
✓
Staff spoke positively about working for the service and said that they received support from management. They also spoke of effective communication and team work.
Programmes
6/10
✓
There was a monthly activity timetable in place for all people. Staff supported people to engage in meaningful activities such as day centres, shopping and community trips. One supported living setting had a sensory room.
Points to consider
Some staff files had criminal record checks more than three years old, so recruitment checks weren't fully up to date.
We looked at five staff records and found that in two of these, criminal records checks were more than three years old.
Activities are basic like outings, shopping and a sensory room, but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes to vary the role.
