The manager keeps her knowledge of current safeguarding issues up to date. The deputy manager monitors staff performance and helps them to improve their knowledge and practice. She offers them individual, targeted support and training. The manager empowers staff to implement any new ideas they bring back from training to make changes in the rooms in which they work.
