Staff understood their responsibilities to identify and report any concerns. Staff were safely recruited and checks were carried out to make sure staff were suitable to work with people who needed care and support.
Medicines were managed safely and administered by trained staff. Medicine audits were able to highlight any errors so appropriate action could then be taken to reduce a reoccurrence. Checks were undertaken to ensure staff continued to be competent administering medicines.

There were sufficient staff with the right skills and training to safely and effectively meet the needs of the people the service supported.
