“This assessment was undertaken in response to concerns raised about the service and therefore, we only assessed the relevant quality statements. At this assessment we looked at 3 quality statements under the key question of Safe. We looked at, Learning culture, Safeguarding and Safe and effective staffing. There were systems in place to ensure that when accidents, incidents or safeguarding concerns occurred they were reported to the appropriate authorities, investigated and learning from the events was shared with the staff. Systems were in place to protect people from abuse and any concerns were dealt with appropriately. Staff were recruited safely and had the training they needed.”
