We undertook this targeted inspection to check the provider had followed their action plan and to confirm they now met legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to the quality statements in safe and well-led which contain those requirements.
At this inspection sustained improvements were identified, and the provider was no longer in breach of regulations. The rating for this service remains good.
Quality monitoring processes now ensured the effective application of the Mental Capacity Act (2005). Governance and oversight systems were now effective in identifying and mitigating risks to people’s care. At this inspection, the service was not supporting people with a learning disability or autistic people. However, the service now met the requirements of the Oliver McGowan Code of Practice in relation to mandatory training. The code of practice is required by the Heath and Care Act 2022. It sets out standards of mandatory training requirements on learning disabilities and autism.
Changes in senior leadership since the last inspection had strengthened the service’s governance and quality monitoring. Leaders were visible and had taken prompt action to improve compliance and drive improvements. Leaders demonstrated a commitment to continuous learning, using feedback and shared learning to sustain improvements and improve the quality of care.
