Staff training was reviewed to ensure staff had the knowledge and skills to meet people's needs. Staff were mostly up to date with training. Staff had recently attended training to reduce the risk of choking.

The registered manager had a good understanding of safeguarding and their responsibility to report notifiable incidents. The registered manager said although there had not been any safeguarding concerns at The Beeches they did know what to report and how.

People were supported to access a wide range of activities that included trampolining, swimming, employment and day centres. One staff member said, 'Anything they want to do, we will make happen for them.'
