During an inspection looking at part of the service
People who used the service were protected from the risk of abuse, because the provider had taken reasonable steps to identify the possibility of abuse and prevent abuse from happening. We spoke to three nurses and four care staff. They were all aware of what abuse was and who to report any allegations or suspected abuse to. There were copies of the safeguarding vulnerable adult's policy on every floor and posters reminding people of the various types of abuse were displayed on notice boards. All the staff had recently attended safeguarding training updates via electronic means. Their understanding was then tested verbally at the end of the sessions.
