During a routine inspection
Appropriate arrangements were in place in relation to the recording of medicine. We saw the medication policy and staff were able to explain the procedures that were contained in the policy. We saw that all staff had received training on medication and that this was renewed every year.
Staff received appropriate professional development. All staff received mandatory and statutory training that was relevant to their role. Staff told us they felt supported and that the service provided them with training and development that enabled them to do their jobs well.
People who used the service, their representatives and staff were asked for their views about their care and treatment and they were acted on. We saw that customers were regularly asked to give their views of the service through customer feedback forms. One of the people we spoke with said 'They are always asking me if I am happy with the service X is providing.'
