People’s experience of using this service and what we found
Right Support:
This was a targeted inspection that considered managers and staff being clear about their roles, and understanding quality performance, risks and regulatory requirements. Based on our inspection of this area we found the manager had the skills, knowledge and experience to perform their role and a clear understanding of people’s needs and oversight of the service.
Right Care:
Based on our inspection of managers and staff being clear about their roles, and understanding quality performance, risks and regulatory requirement, we found governance processes were overall effective. Processes helped to hold staff to account, keep people safe, protect people’s rights and provide good quality care and support, however these were yet to be embedded.
Right Culture:
The scope of this inspection did not enable findings on this area to be reached

Rating at last inspection and update
The last rating for this service was requires improvement (published 8 March 2023).
Why we inspected
We undertook this targeted inspection to check whether the Warning Notice we previously served in relation to Regulation 17 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 had been met on a specific concern we had about manager oversight of risk. The overall rating for the service has not changed following this targeted inspection and remains requires improvement.
We use targeted inspections to follow up on Warning Notices or to check concerns. They do not look at an entire key question, only the part of the key question we are specifically concerned about. Targeted inspections do not change the rating from the previous inspection. This is because they do not assess all areas of a key question.
Follow up
We will continue to monitor information we receive about the service, which will help inform when we next inspect.
