Staff numbers are mostly enough but therapy vacancies are covered by bank staff and rarely agency.
Currently there were therapy staff vacancies (9.8 whole time equivalent)... The provider used bank staff and on rare occasions agency staff to cover vacancies or sickness.
Varied social activities like music, gaming, quizzes and outings are available but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes noted.
There were weekly evening groups offered across The Children's Trust with a full timetable of the events for children and young people in each of the houses... music makers, gaming club, quiz night, film night, and dance.
