• Risk assessments were in place and regularly updated to ensure safe care.
• Medicines were managed safely, and people received their medicines when they needed them.
• Safe recruitment processes ensured only suitable people were employed by the service. Staff were well supported and had received training that ensured they had the skills they needed to do their job.
