We looked for evidence that safety was a shared priority and that leaders promoted a culture of openness, learning, and collaboration. We checked whether staff felt empowered to raise concerns and whether systems were in place to support continuous learning from incidents. We looked at training compliance and how staff worked with healthcare partners to ensure safe care pathways. We checked whether risks were identified and managed effectively, and whether care was person-centred. We also reviewed patient records and discharge communications, to ensure continuity and safety throughout the care journey.

At our last assessment we rated this key question good. At this assessment the rating has remained good. We found people were safe and protected from avoidable harm.
