Risk assessments were completed to promote independence, wellbeing and support people to make their own choices. Where people did not have capacity, all necessary actions had been carried out under the Mental Capacity Act including making appropriate applications under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) if required. Safeguarding training for staff had been completed and we saw regular updates for staff had been arranged. Staff were confident the management team would investigate any issues appropriately. Staff supported people who had capacity to make decisions about risk. Care plans were in place and ones we looked at had been regularly reviewed to reflect any changes that had been identified. They were clear, comprehensive and provided guidance to staff to keep people safe. The management team ensured there were sufficient, safely recruited staff on duty. Incidents or accidents were reviewed and investigated. They also monitored these records to identify any developing trends that might indicate any future changes were required. The action taken by the management team had improved people’s safety and enabled staff to deliver safe care and support.
