People were protected from abuse and avoidable harm. Systems for safeguarding, risk management, infection control, and medicines were effective. Staff were well-trained and knew people well. which built trust with the people they supported. Minor improvements were needed to ensure more detail was added to the incident log detail to allow for more robust accident analysis.
