Requirements & recommendations

Recommendation 1
1. To support children’s wellbeing and promote the continued development and improvement of the service the manager and staff team should ensure robust self evaluation, quality assurance and auditing is taking place and is effective. This should be well organised, so it is achievable, reviewed and monitored over time. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS), which state that: 'I benefit from a culture of continuous improvement, with the organisation having robust and transparent quality assurance processes' (HSCS 4.19).
