An update regarding the changes is sent to the Home on a monthly basis and the manager sends copies to the relevant people. The manager and the support services administrator continue to carry out health and safety audits on a monthly basis and copies are sent to the head office. Following each audit an action plan is developed. They provide evidence that all areas of Health and Safety are carefully examined. The Department also audits the Home annually.
