Staff had been safely recruited and there were sufficient numbers of staff on duty to meet people's needs. Risks associated with people's care were assessed with appropriate guidance in place to inform staff. People's medicines were managed safely.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
