Programmes

!
We noted the activity provision on the day of inspection was limited... the activities co-ordinator had recently resigned at the end of 2017.
Points to consider
No dedicated activities coordinator since theirs left recently, so activity provision is limited to basic chats, music and individual hobbies like colouring.
the activities co-ordinator had recently resigned at the end of 2017, and they had just reallocated the activities role to a new staff member... we noted the activity provision on the day of inspection was limited.
