Safe
No rating
Safe – this means we looked for evidence that people were protected from abuse and avoidable harm. Based on the findings of this assessment the rating for this key question has changed from good to requires improvement. This meant some aspects of the service were not always safe and there was an increased risk that people could be harmed. This is because the service did not always work well with people and partners to understand and manage risks to keep people safe and medicine administration was not managed safely in line with best practice. These failures had placed people at risk of harm under Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
