Recommendation 1

1. To support high quality outcomes for children and families, the service should ensure there are robust and transparent quality assurance processes in place that supports staff in developing a culture of continuous improvement. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: ‘I benefit from a culture of continuous improvement, with the organisation having robust and transparent quality assurance processes’ (HSCS 4.19).

Recommendation 2

1. Personal plans must contain a clear record of current care and support needs for each child and how these will be met in the service. The personal plan must be reviewed and updated with parents at least once every six months, or sooner if requested or required, in line with legislation. This would assist with meeting individual children's needs. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards which state that 'My personal plan (sometimes referred to as a care plan) is right for me because it sets out how my needs will be met, as well as my wishes and choices.' (HSCS 1.15)
