Well-led

Requires improvement

Updated 11 March 2024

The rating for the key question of well led is requires improvement, however, shortfalls identified at our previous inspection had been addressed. Although we found good practice at this assessment, until we have assessed more quality in well led the rating for this key question remains the same. There had been improvements in the oversight of the service including checks on staff, audits on the quality of records and support being provided. There was now a registered manager in place, who had oversight of the day to day running of the service including the assessment of people’s needs and staffing.
