This monitoring visit

The recommendations made at the previous inspection were outside the scope of this monitoring visit and have therefore not been fully reviewed. However, the home is well maintained and provides a warm, welcoming environment that reflects a family home. Progress in relation to the remaining recommendations will be considered at the home’s next full inspection. Inspection report for children's home - monitoring visit: 2761271 2

 The registered person should ensure that staff should help children to develop understanding and empathy towards each other. Poor behaviour should be challenged and discussed.

Information about the child must always be recorded in a way that will be helpful to the child. In particular, ensure that children's risk assessments and care plans include all relevant detail and are reviewed regularly.
