We found the following examples of good practice.

Procedures were in place to prevent the spread of infection. Personal protective equipment (PPE) practices were in place. For example, staff were observed to be wearing PPE and appropriate additional cleaning protocols were in place.

The service kept up to date with government guidance around visiting but as this is a short stay respite service, visits were very minimal.

People were supported to maintain their wellbeing by having activities that interested them, such as, listening to music, watching TV, reading and if they wish to go outside staff were on hand to support them.

There was a robust business continuity plan. This included procedures to follow in the event of an infection breakout. Different areas of the service would be used to isolate people to prevent the spread of infections.
