Person-Centred Care
We involve people directly in developing their care plans and risk assessments, taking time to understand their needs, wishes, interests, and aspirations. Where appropriate, we work closely with families, advocates, and healthcare professionals involved in a person's support network.
We aim to build understanding of the communities and relationships that matter to each person and, where possible, support meaningful connection and help reduce social isolation.
Safe, Caring, and Effective
Our service is designed around the Care Quality Commission (CQC) fundamental standards of safe, caring, effective, responsive, and well-led care:
- Rigorous recruitment vetting: Enhanced DBS checks, verified references, and full employment history.
- Comprehensive staff training: Structured induction, mandatory training, supervision, and ongoing professional development.
- Robust risk management: Person-centred care planning and individualised risk assessments.
- Health & safety: Stringent safeguarding protocols, infection prevention, and safe working practices.
- Clinical governance: Regular direct observations, quality assurance spot-checks, and internal audits.
- Confidentiality: Secure, confidential handling of all personal and medical information.
Leadership and Quality Assurance
The service is led by Registered Manager Debbie Anne Louise Charlesworth. Each person supported has an assigned link worker responsible for helping maintain a consistent, high-quality service and regularly reviewing their care plan and risk assessment.
Quality assurance is an ongoing commitment. Regular reviews and audits are used to monitor service quality, identify trends, and support continual improvement. The views of the people we support, their families, our staff, and multi-disciplinary professionals are actively gathered to shape and refine our services.
