1. To ensure that children's learning and wellbeing is supported, personal plans should be developed further to include children's preferences and interests. This will help to ensure that children's changing needs are reflected within their personal plans, and that personal plans adhere to current practice guidance. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: ‘My needs, as agreed in my personal plan, are fully met, and my wishes and choices are respected' (HSCS 1.23).

2. To protect children's health and wellbeing the management of medication should follow best practice guidance on safe storage and administration of medication. 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 based on relevant evidence, guidance and best practice' (HSCS 4.11).

1. To improve outcomes for children, quality assurance processes, including self-evaluation and improvement planning, should be further developed. This should include, but not limited to: - gathering the views of parents and children to inform the development of the service - using current guidance to develop self-evaluation and improvement planning approaches - develop a system to record and reflect on continuous professional development. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: ‘I use a service and organisation that are well led and managed’ (HSCS 4.23); and 'I benefit from a culture of continuous improvement, within the organisation having robust and transparent quality assurance processes' (HSCS 4.19).
