Working at Royal Mencap Society - 6 Lamberts (Foxglove)

Safety has some gaps like fire risks still needing fixes and agency staff not trained on emergency meds

we met the fire safety officer and have subsequently received their fire safety report. Some areas of concern remain and identified as a moderate risk... two agency staff were working together who had not been trained to administer rescue medicines

Staffing is adequate now with no vacancies but relies on some agency workers for shifts

there were two agency staff working together at Foxglove and although experienced and competent it was not clear who the shift lead was... sickness still had an impact on the service, but shifts were now always covered adequately

Only standard training with some improvements but no specialist qualifications or career paths mentioned

Staff were supported with regular access to training... felt training had improved recently and there was more face-to-face training... Staff had opportunity to discuss... personal development and reviews of their performance and career progression were being rolled out
