The Community is a registered educational charity providing up to 39 residential places for young people with moderate learning disabilities, and therefore is also inspected by Ofsted. The Camphill Movement, founded in 1940, works to create communities in which vulnerable children and adults can learn and work with respect. Camphill is inspired by Christian ideals as articulated by Rudolph Steiner and is based on the acceptance of spiritual uniqueness of each human being, regardless of religious or racial background. The Mounts training programme extends over 4 years. An educational year is approximately 38 weeks divided into 4 terms, with students returning home or to other placements during the holidays. There are 4 community houses onsite, each with its own character. There are craft workshops for pottery, bakery, weaving, woodwork and catering. In the main house, which is a renovated monastery, are classrooms, a library and a community hall. There is a large vegetable garden and orchard, which provides the venue for a horticultural course and extensive grounds and woods where the estate and rural skills course are taught. There is also a gymnasium on the site. The Mount is staffed by residential co-workers and day staff. The senior co-workers live permanently in The Mount. Most staff take on the role of house co-workers, team leaders and some are also College tutors. The trainee co-workers are volunteers from a wide range of countries and usually work at The Mount for up to one year. The current scales of fees are based on the Learning and Skill Council (LSC) matrix, which is in the range of £35000 & £45000 p.a. The Mount DS0000021251.V326184.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The Care Standards Act 2000 and Care Homes Regulations 2001, uses the term ‘service user’ to describe those living in care home settings. For the purpose of this report, those living at The Mount are referred to as ‘students’ and the staff team are referred to co-workers. This report reflects a key inspection based on the collation of information received since the last inspection and an unannounced site visit conducted by an Inspector on the 28th February 2007. The site visit included a tour of the premises, college facilities and the workshops. The inspector undertook an examination of various records including medication, care and staffing records. The Inspector met with the registered manager, the co-workers on duty and students at various venues throughout the day, which included the individual houses, the community meeting, classroom and in the workshops. The students were sent the CSCI ‘Have your say’ about The Mount survey, but the registered manager informed the CSCI by letter that this survey was inappropriate for the students. Student feedback from The Mount’s Self Assessment Report and Quality Improvement Plan undertaken in December 2006 was available for the inspector to review. Also during the inspection visit the inspector spoke with students, and all gave very positive feedback about their life at The Mount. The registered manager gave the inspector a copy of the feedback form parents based on 17 responses in November 2006. This information was also very positive and one outstanding statement was: “When I asked him if he would rather live at home or The Mount, he replied “The Mount”. What the service does well: The Mount offers an excellent standard of accommodation in a beautiful setting, and also offering students the opportunity to get out into the wider community. The CSCI was sent prior to the inspection a sample of menus and on the day of the visit the inspector was invited to dine with the students. The quality and quantity of the food was found to be very good.

When questioned the staff had a good knowledge of the students, and gave the students a personal touch to their care, this is achieved by the established staff team working well together. Training is very important to the registered manager and the staff and all are encourage by the Camphill organisation to undertake training. The volunteer co-workers come to work at The Mount for a year, and following their induction The Mount DS0000021251.V326184.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 training they are offered further training towards certification at OCN lever 2 in the Camphill approach to special education. The inspector during this inspection visit reviewed the staffing records of the two newest staff members, and the recruitment records were seen to be in order. They are a married couple and are co-workers living within the community with their family. Both were interviewed by the inspector and both were enjoying their work and fully integrated into the life of the community. From the records held they both received a full induction training, mandatory training and supervision from their mentors, who are senior members of the community, supervises both.

It is required that all care staff are supervised and the need for formal supervision to be undertaken by senior staff. There should also be supervision contracts written, which would explain what was the home’s policy and expectations of the supervision, and the outcome with regards to the National Minimum Standard (36).

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): 37,38,39,40,41 & 42Quality in this outcome area is good. The Mount is well managed in the best interests of the students who are fully involved in the running of their residential accommodation. The service benefits from a well-motivated organisation which and a motivated and enthusiastic staff team. However, where house co-workers undertake administrative duties should be reviewed and space should be provided for them away from their personal accommodation for them to be more effective. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Records showed that all aspects of health and safety were being met this included looking at appliance safety certificates, staff training, and accident records. All staff and volunteers receive regular mandatory training in food The Mount DS0000021251.V326184.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 hygiene, moving and handling, fire training, first aid training and infection control. All accidents and significant incidents are promptly reported to the CSCI. Once again the service completed its annual Self Assessment report and Quality Improvement Plan in December 2006. Part of this process involved sending satisfaction questionnaires to families, students and volunteer coworkers. Through this process they examine all aspects of the service they provide and then detail an action plan stating the actions they propose to take to address the shortfall they have assessed in the service. The inspector saw this document during this inspection visit. It was evident the role of co-worker and become more complex with the tasks of ensuring care planning and the recording of such plans are maintained to a good standard. However, the inspector saw that the family environment could be overwhelming and not conductive for completing documentation. Both house co-workers interviewed during this inspection visit confirmed that they undertook administrative task in their own accommodation. It is required the current arrangement for the maintaining and storing of documents and regulation records in the personal accommodation be reviewed to ensure this activity is not comprised and is conducted in a confidential manner.
