Recommendation 1

1. To support people's health and wellbeing, the provider should ensure staff formally reflect on their training and learning through a written reflective account, including the impact it has had to their practice. The reflective accounts should be discussed during supervision. 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 "I experience high quality care and support based on relevant evidence, guidance and best practice" (HSCS 4.11).
