Points to consider
Staffing levels are enough for safety but staff say more would help run more activities.
Staff told us that there were enough staff to keep people safe, but felt that more staff would mean more opportunities for promoting activities.
Only standard regular training with no specialist courses or funded qualifications.
Staff and leaders told us they received regular training that was up to date to reflect current legislation and regulation.
Some risk plans like bed rails are unclear to staff with conflicting records.
one person's records indicated that bed rails were not to be used due to the risk of climbing over them. Staff were not clear if bed rails were to be used... The risk assessment provided conflicting information.
