This inspection was carried out on 3rd July 2007.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Adequate. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report. These are things the inspector asked to be changed, but found they had not done. The inspector also made 6 statutory requirements (actions the home must comply with) as a result of this inspection.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

House parents talked with great enthusiasm about the activities that were accessed and enjoyed by the young people. Family groups met up in the park for games and a walking group had been set up for weekend country sight seeing. Particular favourites were going to the theatre and bowling. Family links and friendships were encouraged and people were involved in the daily routines of the home, which promoted involvement and encouraged independence. People were offered a variety of meals and food, which was mainly organic, and of high quality. House parents were aware of people`s likes and dislikes and menus were discussed and agreed by everyone living in the house. There was a complaints procedure and Adult Protection procedure in place, to promote peoples safety. House parents said they had confidence in the homes managers, who would listen to any concerns and take them seriously. The homes were spacious, clean and tidy. Health and safety procedures were identified and carried out, and systems were checked and serviced to maintain a safe environment. A staff training record was in place, and individual training records were maintained. A recruitment procedure was in operation to ensure the safety of people living in the home. Staff supervision took place, to support and give guidance to staff on an individual basis. Records within the home were stored securely, to safeguard confidentiality.

What has improved since the last inspection?

This was the second inspection carried out by the CSCI. Following the first inspection twenty requirements were issued, of which the majority (16) had been actioned. The home had compiled a Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide, which were given to people that had an interest in, or were using the service. Prior to being offered a place at the home people were assessed over a threeday period. Their individual strengths and limitations were closely monitored; this allowed the staff to place people within the most appropriate setting. Care plans were in place for all. These were well organised and easy to read. They set out all aspects of personal, social and health care needs and recorded the staff action required to ensure all identified needs were met. People`s health care was monitored and access to health specialists was available. Records of contact with any health care professional were maintained. All potential risks to people had been identified, and a written risk assessment undertaken. Medication Administration Records (MAR) sheets were completed for all medications administered by the house parents. Records seen were fully completed and consent to administer medication had been obtained from the young people or their representative. The complaints procedure provided to young people included the contact details of the local office of the CSCI. All staff had undertaken training in adult and child protection and full checks were being carried our during the recruitment process to ensure that people were kept safe. Support staff were provided with the organisations induction training and formal staff supervisions were taking place. The organisations quality assurance systems included a questionnaire, which was handed out to young people to obtain their views of the service provided. The results of the annual audits were then reviewed and any appropriate action was taken.

What the care home could do better:

House parents undertaking training in delivering personal care, medication administration, moving and handling and NVQ Level 2 in Care (or equivalent) would further protect young peoples health, welfare and safety. A record of complaints and concerns kept at each of the homes would ensure that people felt they were being listened to. To safeguard people living in and visiting the home the driveway at 112 Brincliffe Edge Road must be made safe. Fire drills undertaken by the house parents and young people should also involve any support staff.

Service Users between the ages of 16 and 17 years may be accommodated. 13th July 2006 Date of last inspection Brief Description of the Service: The home comprises of two properties that are an annexe to Freeman College, which is part of the Ruskin Mill Educational Trust. The home offers residential accommodation and personal support to three people during term time and young people return to their families during the college holidays. People live in domestic style houses and are cared for by house parents. House parents are employed by the college to create a warm, family atmosphere within the house so that people are living in a friendly environment. Individual bedrooms and communal living areas are provided. The houses are situated within a short distance of the college, within a residential area and close to shops, churches, bus routes and a public park A copy of the previous inspection report was available for anyone visiting or using the college and information about how to raise any issues of concern or make a complaint was on display in the entrance halls of the two registered properties.

DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an announced key inspection carried out by Sue Turner regulation inspector. The site visit took place between the hours of 9.15 am and 3:15 pm. John Pickin is the registered manager and was present during the inspection. Prior to the site visit the registered manager completed an AQAA (Annual Quality Assurance Assessment) and one questionnaire was sent out to a person who had previously used the service. Also present during the site visit was the Neighbourhood Head, Alan Miggin and three house parents, who were interviewed. Their views and some information from the questionnaire are included in the main body of the report. At the time of the site visit there were no people using the places that are registered with the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI). Opportunity was taken to make a partial tour of the two registered premises, inspect a sample of care records, check records relating to the running of the service and check the services policies and procedures. The inspector wishes to thank everyone involved in the inspection process for their time, friendliness and co-operation.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 1 and 2. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home provided sufficient updated and relevant information to inform people about their rights and choices. People who live at the home have their needs assessed, and staff review this so that they can continue to meet peoples changing needs. EVIDENCE: There was a Statement of Purpose, Service User Guide and Student Handbook available to all young people and their families. These offered a full range of information about many aspects of the college and home and people were encouraged to read all three. People interested in living at the home and attending the college were assessed over a three-day period. Staff met and talked to the person and talked to their family and other professionals about the support the person would need. This was good practice and helped to make sure people got the right kind of support they needed. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 House parents would meet the young person during the assessment process although it was not always possible for the person’s assessment to be undertaken in the house they would be living in. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 6, 7 and 9. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. A care plan and risk assessments were in place for all. People were supported and encouraged to make decisions to promote independence. EVIDENCE: The inspector checked one care plan, however as the home was not caring for anyone with personal care needs the plan seen was observed as a ‘sample’. The care plan contained a lot of information about the persons needs and was in an easy to follow format. Care plans included specific information on the staff action required to meet any identified needs. Potential risks to the person had been identified, discussed with the appropriate people and a written risk assessment undertaken. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The home followed good practices to encourage people to make decisions about their own lives. This included the risk assessments and records about what people liked and did not like. The house parents talked about ways they had supported people to consider the consequences of the decisions they made and how people’s decisions were respected. One example of this was a person who had decided to start smoking so that they felt “more in with the crowd”. House parents had talked to them about other ways of making friends and feeling more accepted. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People get good support to follow the daily routines they prefer; they have good support to access community, leisure and education opportunities. A high quality and varied diet was provided to maintain health and accommodate individual preferences. EVIDENCE: During the day young people attend college and carry out vocational education and work experience schemes. During the evenings and weekends people are supported and encouraged to participate in leisure activities, which suit their own preferences and abilities. House parents talked about assisting people to such things as football, youth club, cinema, pub, churches and the mosque. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 House parents said that they had very good relationships with people’s families and friends and were in constant contact with them. Evidence of this was seen in the care plans and house diaries. Great emphasis was put on encouraging people to eat healthily. The majority of food used was organic and people were involved in menu planning, shopping and cooking. House parents said that they were given sufficient funds to buy organic food which was often more expensive to purchase. One house parent had undertaken training in nutrition and was very interested in research into the positive effects that a healthy diet could have for individuals. His/her learning was being disseminated to other house parents as part of the training programme. It was important that there were clear schedules and routines for each house, however it was very evident that within this was the flexibility needed to ensure that individual’s needs were met and people remained happy and content. House parents were able to say ways in which they ensured that people’s privacy and dignity were maintained. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 18, 19 and 20. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People get good health care support, to ensure they receive good personal care from the house parents, training should be provided. All staff had not been provided with medication administration training to ensure they followed safe procedures. EVIDENCE: People had information about their health care needs in their care plans. This helped staff give people the right support to maintain their health. The home had good links with health professionals and followed their advice and guidance. People had access to the college doctor and homeopathic medication was promoted and provided as part of the college ethos. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 In the past 18 months the home has only cared for one person who required assistance with their personal care needs. House parents said that they had not received any training in personal care and it is therefore necessary that staff are trained and their competencies maintained as they are not consistently practising and calling upon these skills. The manager agreed that house parents would benefit from undertaking some form of training in personal care. A policy on medication was in place and available to staff. Medicines were securely stored around the home in locked cupboards. Medicine Administration Records (MAR) checked were completed with staffs’ signatures and consent had been obtained from people and/or their representative. House parents administered medications. One house parent said he/she had received in depth training in medication administration, however two other house parents said they had not received medication training. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 22 and 23. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. A complaints and adult protection policy and procedure was in place. So that people feel they are being listened to all complaints and concerns should be recorded. Staff had been trained in adult protection. EVIDENCE: People and their representatives had been provided with a copy of the homes complaints procedure, which was also on display in the entrance halls. This contained details of who to speak to at the home and informed the reader of who to contact outside of the home to make a complaint should they wish to do so. The Neighbourhood Head and Student Protection Officers dealt with any serious complaints. CSCI had not received any complaints about the home. The manager was aware of a number of concerns that people had raised and these were investigated as he became aware of them. The house parents also dealt with concerns as they arose. There was no written record of peoples concerns or complaints kept in the homes, this was discussed with the house parents and manager. To fully evidence that all concerns and complaints are responded to the inspector advised that a record was kept which also provided people with an opportunity to discuss and resolve issues before they developed into problems. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 An adult protection procedure was in place and staff had undertaken training on adult protection to equip them with the skills needed to respond appropriately to any allegations. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 24 and 30. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People live in a clean and comfortable home. It meets their needs and respects their preferences and dignity. EVIDENCE: Both registered properties were clean, comfortable and welcoming. Each was domestically furnished, one to a high standard, the other was beginning to look “tired and worn” in places. Both homes had many homely features such as interesting pictures, framed poems and sayings and photographs. House parents and the manager said that any maintenance or redecoration work the houses needed was carried out as part of an ongoing refurbishment programme. Property inspection visits were carried out, which included a health and safety audit. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The inspector visited three bedrooms; these were very personalised to people’s individual preferences. The driveway outside one house was uneven and could present a tripping and slipping hazard to anyone using or visiting the home. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 32, 34, 35 and 36. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People get support from staff who understand their roles and can give safe and competent support. The recruitment process helps to keep people safe. In the main staff training and supervisions were provided which helped staff improve their knowledge and skills. EVIDENCE: House parents interviewed said that they enjoyed the work that they did and got a lot of job satisfaction. House parents were interested, motivated and committed to providing a high standard of care to people. They were responsive to any suggestions for improvements and enthusiastic about undertaking training to equip them with further skills and knowledge. They were able to talk about the various training courses that they had attended, which included all of the mandatory training, for example, Food Hygiene, Adult Protection, First Aid and Fire. Some had also undertaken more advanced training in essential topics, for example medication, equality and diversity and nutrition. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 House parents said they had not undertaken NVQ training, as the existing courses were not suitable to their work role. The manager said that the organisation was currently working towards setting up a training academy and designing their own syllabus so that staff were qualified to care for young people with a learning disability. This would take time but be of much greater benefit to both the staff and the young people that use the service. The recruitment records of three house parents were checked. The staff had provided employment histories and any gaps had been explored and recorded on their application form. Two written references, one from their previous employer had been obtained for each of them. These were satisfactory. Protection Of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) checks had been made and Enhanced Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) checks had been obtained for the staff members. Staff induction took place, and house parents spoken with confirmed that this included all of the relevant aspects. At the previous inspection a requirement was issued that staff were provided with moving and handling training, the manager said that they had purchased a training DVD which staff would be using in the near future. House parents said that they were offered supervision on both a formal and informal basis. Recently a planned and structured supervision had commenced for each house parent, which they said they were finding useful and beneficial. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 37, 39 and 42. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The manager’s leadership approach benefited people and staff. Quality assurance systems, staff supervision and house meetings meant that the home was run in the best interests of everyone. In the main people’s health and safety had been promoted and protected in all areas. EVIDENCE: The registered manager had good skills to manage the home well. House parents said that the manager was supportive and approachable and they were able to contact him at any time for guidance and advice. DS0000065227.V337457.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 24 The organisation had a number of ways in which to assess the quality of the service and make improvements. Young people had recently completed questionnaires, giving their opinions of the service and the neighbourhood head said that a summary of the results was available. Each house held their own ‘house meetings’, usually over a meal, where people were given the opportunity to express their views about living in the home and also plan their schedules for the coming week. The manager said that the organisation will recruit for September further staff, two neighbourhood heads, a neighbourhood co-ordinator and a college nurse; all who would contribute to improving the service. A health and safety policy was in place and staff had been provided with health and safety training as part of their induction. The equipment at the home was serviced and maintained. Fire records evidenced that weekly fire alarm checks took place. Staff said fire drill training took place on a regular basis; however, support staff had not participated in any practice drill.
