This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I have confidence in people because they are trained, competent and skilled, are able to reflect on their practice and follow their professional and organisational codes.' (HSCS 3.14).

Recommendation 2

2. To support people's health and wellbeing, the service provider should ensure staff have regular opportunities for supervision meetings to support their development and learning. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: ''I have confidence in people because they are trained, competent and skilled, are able to reflect on their practice and follow their professional and organisational codes.' (HSCS 3.14) and Scottish Social Services Council's Code for Employers of Social Service Workers that state employers should: 'Provide effective and regular supervision that enables workers to develop and improve practice through reflection and feedback.' (SSSC 3.7)

Recommendation 3

1. To support people's safety, health and wellbeing, the service provider should ensure that all necessary safety checks, including for fire risks and environmental matters, are undertaken following best practice and on set, regular and assessed frequency and basis. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'My environment is secure and safe.' (HSCS 5.19).

Recommendation 4

1. To support people's health and wellbeing, the service provider should ensure that people's care and support information is as up to date as possible, clear and completed to a high standard. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) 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).
