there had been a continuous lack of consistency in how well the service was managed and led... management systems were still not always robust and effective in identifying and managing risks
Programmes
2/10
✕
no significant improvements had been made to provide a range of meaningful activities... We received mainly negative feedback... “There’s nothing to do for me.”
Points to consider
No real activities or engagement to make the job more interesting, just basic care all day
no significant improvements had been made to provide a range of meaningful activities which offered people choice... “There’s nothing to do for me.”
Safety processes are weak with slow reporting of incidents and gaps in medicine checks
an incident... reported to the local authority safeguarding team 5 weeks after the incident... quality checks had not identified... covert medicines
Managers miss risks because audits and oversight are not reliable enough
management systems were still not always robust... Audits at the provider level had not always identified the shortfalls found within the inspection
