This should include but is not limited to: a) Staff develop their knowledge and understanding around self-evaluation processes and increasing their involvement in the systematic evaluation of their work and the work of the service.

b) The management team effectively monitoring the work of each member of staff and the service as a whole.

This is in order to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards, 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 Met
