The inspection, summarised

  • Governance systems were not always effective and had not always identified or managed concerns.
  • For example, kitchen hygiene standards were not formally monitored or checked and this shortfall increased the potential risk of harm to people.
  • The community leader provided assurances of their improvement plans.
