The service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right Support, Right Care and Right Culture. People were supported by staff who understood their diagnoses and care needs and were aware of how to provide care to mitigate risks people posed to themselves and the safety of others. People received kind caring personalised support which considered their backgrounds, beliefs and interests. People were encouraged to partake in hobbies and activities that were meaningful to them. People were supported to have choice and control over their daily lives and to make meaningful longer term goals. Staff supported people to be as independent as possible and considered how information was presented to them to support decision making and positive risk taking.
