Staff supported people to make decisions and took account of their capacity and ability to consent. Management systems were robust and supported the improvements we found. Accidents and incidents were analysed, and risks were reviewed to improve people’s health, safety and welfare. There was a learning culture that supported continuous improvement. Where changes had been made, the provider had systems in place to ensure good practice was embedded and sustained.
