During a routine inspection

Leaving Care South provides care and support to young people who are leaving the care system and transitioning in to independent living arrangements. Staff offer support with life skills such as budgeting, home skills and managing behaviour. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided. At the time of our inspection there was one person receiving support with personal care.

People’s experience of using this service and what we found

The young person being supported declined to speak with us as part of the inspection. However, from speaking with staff it was clear they understood the person well and knew their needs. There as clear documentation in place describing the young person’s needs and how staff were supporting them.

Staff received good training and support to help them carry out their roles effectively. Staff received regular supervision and an annual appraisal to help identify and act upon training and developments needs.

The service was well led and there were systems in place to monitor the quality of the service provided. 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.
