Recommendation 1

1. Protocols for administering 'as required' (PRN) medication should be strengthened to include clear guidance on dosage intervals and escalation steps to support safe medication management. 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

1. The provider should ensure that staff receive regular and structured supervision sessions. In doing so, these sessions should provide opportunities for staff to reflect on their practice, receive feedback, and identify learning and development needs. 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).
