People's experience of using this service: The outcomes for people using the service reflected the principles and values of Registering the Right Support. The service promoted choice and control, independence, and inclusion. People's support focused on them having as many opportunities as possible for them to gain new skills and become more independent. People with learning disabilities and autism using the service could live as ordinary a life as any citizen.
There was a strong person-centred culture which ran throughout the service. Staff were motivated to make a difference and to empower people to take a lead on how their support was delivered.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Everyone we spoke with were very happy with the service and would recommend it to others. One person told us, "All the staff are brilliant. They are carefully chosen by the agency and they go out of their way to do things they way I like."
Staff were described as reliable, kind and caring. We were provided with many examples of when staff had gone the extra mile.
People continued to receive a consistently good service and were protected from avoidable harm. The staff team were well-trained and in sufficient numbers to meet people's needs.
Healthcare and social care professionals praised the staff team for monitoring people's healthcare and working together in partnership with them to promote people's health and general well-being.
The registered manager used a variety of ways to monitor the quality of the service and to involve people in the running of the service.
Leadership within the service was strong and focussed upon striving for and maintaining a person-centred service.
