Recommendation 1

1. In order to ensure that people and the environment are protected from cross-infection, the provider should ensure that staff are aware of, and practice in line with, the 'Care Home National Infection Prevention and Control Manual'. In particular, this should include but is not limited to: a) hand hygiene; and b) waste management. 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).
