Summary of outcome

n ensure all staff, including those with additional responsibility, have appropriate induction, and supervision to support their knowledge and skills so they fully understand how to meet their roles and responsibilities. On the 1 March 2023 we carried out an inspection. A part of the inspection was to check whether the provider had met the safeguarding and welfare actions. The provider has taken steps to ensure all actions had been met. Leaders and staff have an improved knowledge of safeguarding procedures and issues that may suggest a child is at risk of harm and how to refer this. Furthermore, safer recruitment processes have been reviewed and are much more robust to ensure staff suitability is checked and followed up in a timely manner. Lastly, all staff receive supervision opportunities and support in order for them to understand and carry out their roles and responsibilities.
