However, staff were recruited safely and received training. They understood how to recognise the signs of abuse and prevent the spread of infection. Staff were king and caring and promoted people’s independence. The service was responsive to people’s immediate needs and there were systems in place to ensure people had access to the service. The provider was in breach of the legal regulations relating to governance systems. We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this assessment.
