We found the following examples of good practice.
The service had updated their policies and procedures to ensure infection prevention and control (IPC) processes were robust. The premises had visible signage throughout to inform people and visitors of COVID- 19 risks and IPC practices. All visitors had their temperatures checked and were required to carry out a lateral flow device (LFD) test before entering.
Cleaning regimes had been changed to ensure robust processes were in place. High touch surfaces were being cleaned more regularly.
Donning and doffing stations were situated in the service and personal protective equipment (PPE) was available throughout the building. Staff had received training in IPC and PPE in relation to COVID-19.
Social distancing was promoted within the service and in communal spaces.
