Summary of outcome

On 14 December 2021, we carried out a regulatory visit. The focus of the visit was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions, raised at their last inspection. We found the provider had met some of the safeguarding and welfare actions but not others. The provider had completed the first part of a paediatric first aid course and was booked on to the second part of the course. They had put in place arrangements to ensure that records are available and accessible. The provider had improved their understanding of the role of the local authority designated officer (LADO), and now understands what to do if an allegation is made against them or a household member.
