The service has been further developed in line with the principles and values that underpin Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. We have assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. The service was fully compliant with these principles.”
“During the assessment, there was a positive culture of safety, based on openness and transparency. People received safe care and staff managed risks safely from enough suitably trained staff. Staff were recruited safely. People and staff told us they felt confident to raise any concerns and that these would be responded to by the management team. There was an openness from staff that things had been challenging due to 2 years of management changes. The provider had liaised with external health professionals to provide joined up care and treatment for people. This had promoted safe transitions for people moving between different services. The premises were well maintained. Personal protective equipment (PPE) was used appropriately.”

The provider had governance systems in place to identify any improvements required were identified and actioned. Staff felt the management team were approachable, and there were regular opportunities for staff and management to discuss incidents or areas for improvement within the service to ensure lessons were learnt.”
