Recommendation 1

1. To support effective supervision and quality engagement with children, the leadership team should ensure that staff work proactively to identify potential gaps in their positioning and deployment. Where appropriate, changes should be made to meet children’s 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, and are able to reflect on their practice and follow their professional and organisational codes. ' (HSCS 3.14).

Recommendation 2

1. To support children's health and wellbeing, effective supervision should be in place to ensure consistent handwashing as part of establishing good infection prevention and control measures, in relation to toileting routines. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I experience high quality care and support because people have the necessary information and resources.' (HSCS 4.27)
