We found the following examples of good practice.
Arrangement was in place for visitors to meet in safe places within and outside the service which minimised the risk of infection spread. Staff had consulted with relatives to agree visiting arrangements in line with government guidance.
Visitors were asked health screening questions, temperatures were taken, visitors were also advised to sanitise their hands-on arrival and wear face masks. Lateral flow tests were carried out and once a negative result was received staff facilitated the visit.
Plans were in place to isolate people with COVID-19 to minimise transmission if required. The service had good supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks and hand sanitizers that were readily available at stations throughout the service.
Staff had received training on how to keep people safe during the COVID-19 pandemic and staff and were regularly tested for COVID-19. The building was clean and free from clutter and there were enhanced cleaning practices.
