Governance, management and sustainability

Score: 3

The registered manager had used data and information from records to continually plan improvement in the quality of care. Events and incidents had been analysed for patterns and trends to ensure lessons were learned and shared with the staff team. The service followed robust arrangements for the confidentiality of data, records and data management systems. The service had implemented relevant quality frameworks based on recognised standards, best practices or equivalents to improve equity in experience and outcomes for people using services and tackle known inequalities.

Staff were clear about their roles and responsibilities, and had regular individual meetings with the management team which they felt were supportive. Management told us how they monitored and managed staff performance, and acted on early indicators to improve skills or conduct. Staff were encouraged to improve their practice through additional training and development of their skills. One example of this was staff being supported to gain qualifications such as an advanced care practitioners course which had increased their confidence, and had positively impacted on outcomes for people.
