Working at Penley Grange

Only basic online training for learning disabilities and autism, with gaps that need more in-depth courses and checks.

Staff had undertaken the basic online awareness training... informed the leadership team about the requirement to arrange the training and competency assessments at a greater breadth and depth

Enough staff to cover shifts with the same familiar faces, but nothing extra like light workloads or long team stability.

Staff told us there were sufficient staffing levels... 'Yes, enough staff, I always see the same staff'

Varied outings and community activities by the team, but no dedicated coordinator or specialist named programmes.

The provider recognised the importance of the provision of activities which was a team’s effort. Although a designated staff member planned some... always scope for introducing an individual approach
