Points to consider
Staff numbers are enough but they missed some background checks when hiring staff.
Some safe recruitment procedures were not always followed. Checks with previous employers in health and social care and some other pre-employment considerations were not complete in some of the recruitment files we considered.
Only basic training for the job and induction, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.
