Read the rest of CQC's summary

Staff had the training and support they needed to provide high quality and safe support. They said they felt well supported by the management team. Staff supported and prompted people to be independent where possible. Staff were safely recruited. Staff knew how to report any concerns they had.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. People had advocates to support them in making decisions about their care and support.

A quality assurance system was in place, with audits and checks being made by the service manager, nurses and at a provider level. The management team were very knowledgeable around the transforming care agenda and closed cultures. The service worked with a range of professionals, who were positive about the support provided and the achievements people had made in their lives.

Current government guidelines for the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), COVID-19 testing for staff and visitors, and vaccination as a condition of employment were being followed.

The service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture. Staff knew people and their needs well, provided flexible person-centred support and supported people to engage in the activities they wanted to do, including going out into the

community.
