The provider did not always have effective systems of accountability or good governance. They did not always act on the best information about risk, performance and outcomes, as governance and quality assurance processes had not consistently identified the concerns found on inspection. Whilst audits were undertaken to monitor the quality and safety of the service and support continuous improvement, we identified environmental concerns and gaps in risk assessments and specialist training that had not been recognised through these systems. This increased the risk that issues affecting people's safety and quality of care may not be identified and addressed promptly. However, the provider responded positively to the feedback provided during the inspection and took action to address the concerns identified, including strengthening processes to support more robust oversight and governance going forward.

We did not look at Partnerships and communities during this assessment. The score for this quality statement is based on the previous rating for Well-led.

The provider focused on continuous learning, innovation and improvement across the organisation and local system. They encouraged creative ways of delivering equality of experience, outcome and quality of life for people. They actively contributed to safe, effective practice and research.
