Summary of outcome

On 23 August 2022, the provider responded to the actions set. We found that the provider had improved their safer recruitment procedures to help ensure staff are suitable for their roles. Suitable arrangements are in place to supervise staff while checks are ongoing. Safeguarding training is now at the forefront of inductions for new staff. There are now two paediatric first aid trained staff on site, with another due to attend training soon. The provider has recruited new staff, and this means the qualification requirements are now met, including having a named deputy manager. The staff have received support and training from the local authority on how to use more effective strategies to help children manage their feelings and behaviour.
