Working at The Foothills

Systems were in place for staff to report any concerns they had about people being at risk of abuse. Care staff had undergone training in safeguarding people.

There were sufficient well-trained staff to meet people's needs. During the day there was usually one member of staff for each person who used the service.

Staff were supported to undertake additional training such as vocational health and social care courses or around people's specific mental or physical health needs.

Staff told us, 'The managers are great – very supportive. There is a good staff team.'

People who used the service told us, 'I like to join in the activities... cooking at college... play snooker and darts... going to a cookery class'
