Inspection findings in brief
- Right Support: People were mostly supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
- Staff did not always support people to have a range of opportunities and experiences to learn to be more independent and have greater control over some areas of their own lives.
- Some people had limited opportunities to build skills and participate in individual activities.
- Staff carried out daily tasks such as cooking and cleaning without always actively supporting people to take part.
