Recommendation

 The registered person should ensure that the home has sufficient staff to provide care for each child; also see regulation 13(2)(d), the leadership and management standard. Sufficient staff means a home having enough suitably trained staff, including someone in a management role, on duty to meet the assessed needs of all children in the home, and that those staff are able to respond to emergency placements, where accepted.
