Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 3 of 8 What we found:
This short random visit started at 10.30 and ended at 11.40. During this short random inspection visit there was the opportunity to speak to the Principle of the college and senior co-worker. There was also the opportunity to meet and speak with some of the students. We looked at the previous Care Quality Commission Inspection reports and service history. We also looked at information sent to us by the college and in particular the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment, and Ofsted Inspection report. We also considered a peer review report from the Community of Communities, Royal College of Psychiatrist. This was a very positive visit and the inspector would like to thank the Principle and Senior Coworker for their hospitality patience and cooperation throughout the visit. What the care home does well:
To make sure the service can meet peoples learning and personal care and support needs these are assessed before coming to spend time in the college. Records show the assessment process is rigorous and include assessments from Education Authorities, Social Services and Health Authorities. Records also show prospective students and their families are involved in every aspect of the assessment and selection process including interviews and trial visits and have a say in how they are to be cared for and supported. Students assessments, learning programmes, care plans and reviews show the college looks holistically at individual students and as well as learning needs, students health care, emotional and spiritual needs are considered. Students are protected by the way those supporting them are selected and recruited as records show references, police and POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults List ) checks are taken up before coming to work at the Pennine Community. Students are also protected by the way overseas workers are selected as records show that Pennine is now registered with United Kingdom Boarder Authority that ensure appropriate checks are completed. Students attending Pennine Community are protected from any kind of abuse as there is a Safeguarding Policy and Procedure for workers to follow that includes Wakefield Local Authority Safeguarding Protocols. Students are further protected as records show workers receive Safeguarding training in how to recognize abuse and how to report any allegations of abuse. Students and their relatives know that what they say will be taken seriously and acted upon as there is a Complaints Policy and Procedure available showing workers what to do and how to deal with students concerns and comments. Students are protected by the way their medicines are dealt with as records show there is

The Pennine Community continues to have a good relationship with the local Pharmacists who occasional checks the medication administration systems. Students are supported and encouraged to be part of the local community and recently some students have been part of a local community action group and helped to preserve and protect common land in the village. Students are supported and encouraged to use local facilities and community based leisure services. Records show some students recently enjoyed trips to Whitby and Scarborough. Students health , safety and wellbeing is promoted and protected as records show there are risk assessments telling workers what they need to do to minimize any risks to students whilst on campus. Records also show that workers have Health and Safety training an there are Health and Safety policies and procedures for them to follow. Discussion with a Senior Co-worker shows all students now have a Wellbeing Manager allocated to them to make sure they are happy and their educational, personal care, and health care needs are being met. The Pennine Community has lots of quality assurance documents to show that students are receiving the right kind of education and personal support they need and require.
