Who it can help
Specialisms as registered with CQC.
From the latest CQC inspection
- People were not consistently supported by care workers who had been robustly recruited.
- We found some required employment checks had not been carried out before staff started at the service.
- This had the potential to place people at risk of harm.
- Induction, support and oversight of training of care workers was not sufficient to meet their development needs and make sure people were cared for by workers with the skills and experience to meet their needs.
