Points to consider
Managers missed spotting some risks and didn't fix them straight away, and one emergency item wasn't checked.
we found one instance where they had not identified safety risks or put plans in place to mitigate these risks... one piece of equipment to be used in an emergency situation had not been monitored or maintained.
Staffing is just enough on the day but no details on stable teams or low agency use.
there were sufficient staff available to support people. Staff told us that they thought there were sufficient staff available to support people.
No full activities programme or coordinator, just some trips, pets and ad hoc outings to vary the day.
Activities were planned with the person and also occurred on an adhoc basis... trips to the sea life centre and a local theme park... pet chickens in the garden and... two rabbits.
