Recommendation · source text
Contact names and telephone numbers, for appropriate safeguarding staff, are placed on the website to make it feel more personal and approachable.
Recommendation · source text
When policies are under review a date is added to that policy to indicate the date by which it will be complete, instead of simply recording “under review”.
Recommendation · source text
WCT should also continue regularly to review and update its policies and procedures, benchmarking with the best.
Recommendation · source text
WCT should work across the Wirral health and social care community, sharing this report with partners in acute, mental health, primary and social care, so that they may assess their current policies and procedures in the light of what happened in 1964 to ensure that patients, particularly the most vulnerable, are safeguarded at all times.
