There were robust systems in place to protect people from the risk of abuse and staff would report concerns should they have any. Risks were assessed and mitigated to minimise the possibility of harm. The premises were safely maintained, and equipment was serviced as needed. There had been an improvement to recruitment processes and staff were safely recruited. Medicines were safely managed and should errors occur, these were reported and reflected upon. Infection prevention and control practice was strong and in line with current guidance. Learning was taken from accidents and incidents and shared among the team to minimise the possibility of repeat events.
