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

The expert by experience said, "This is a very very excellent home overall. I would like to live in a place like this. Overall I thought it was excellent. It was nice and clean. There were plenty of games". Students said that they like living at the homes. When asked why, they said: "Because I like it" "It`s a good place to live" "Yeah, dream, yeah" "Yes, cos my brothers here, make new friends" The students have just moved into both homes this term. There is a lot of information about students, so that staff know what support they need. The staff help and encourage students to gain skills whilst, at the same time, making sure that they are safe. Students are fully involved in making decisions that affect their lives, and staff listen to and respect those decisions. Students attend courses at college, which help them gain independence and confidence, and prepare them for getting a job. There are plenty of activities and outings for them to enjoy. Students said that they feel safe living at the home, and know how to complain if they are unhappy. Staff have good training, and receive good support. Both homes are well managed and organised. Linkage Trust has good systems for getting the views of students, and they have a voice through the college Learners Council. New students receive training about health and safety, so that they are aware of what to do in emergencies.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Staff now have better training about keeping adults and children safe, and protecting them from abuse. They have also had training about how to communicate with students who use signs to help them communicate. There is better information for staff, called policies and procedures, so that staff are clearer about what they are expected to do.

Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This key inspection was undertaken using a review of all the information available to the inspector regarding the service history of Toynton College Cluster 2, and through undertaking a visit to the home. The fieldwork visit took place over 6 hours. The main method of inspection used was called case tracking which involved selecting three students and tracking the support they receive through the checking of their records, discussion with them, the care staff and observation of care practices. A tour of Spencers Lodge and Keal View was undertaken with the manager. Documents connected with the running of the home were also inspected. Fourteen comment cards were received from students, but these had been completed last term, and the students have all moved on. The manager had also completed a Pre-Inspection Questionnaire. This provided information that the Learning and Skills Council individually assess the range of fees charged. CSCI are trying to improve the way we engage with people who use services so we gain a real understanding of their views and experiences of social care services. We are currently testing a method of working where ‘experts by experience’ are an important part of the inspection team and help inspectors get a picture of what it is like to live in or use a social care service. The term ‘experts by experience’ or ‘expert’ used in this report describes people whose knowledge about social care services comes directly from using them. What the service does well: The expert by experience said, “This is a very very excellent home overall. I would like to live in a place like this. Overall I thought it was excellent. It was nice and clean. There were plenty of games”. Students said that they like living at the homes. When asked why, they said: “Because I like it” “It’s a good place to live” “Yeah, dream, yeah” “Yes, cos my brothers here, make new friends” The students have just moved into both homes this term. There is a lot of information about students, so that staff know what support they need. The staff help and encourage students to gain skills whilst, at the same time, making sure that they are safe. Students are fully involved in making decisions that affect their lives, and staff listen to and respect those decisions. Students attend courses at college, which help them gain independence and confidence, and prepare them for getting a job. There are plenty of activities and outings for them to enjoy. Students said that they feel safe living at the home, and know how to complain if they are unhappy. Staff have good training, and receive good support. Both homes are well managed and Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 organised. Linkage Trust has good systems for getting the views of students, and they have a voice through the college Learners Council. New students receive training about health and safety, so that they are aware of what to do in emergencies. What has improved since the last inspection?

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): 2. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There are good procedures for introducing new students to the college, and a thorough assessment is conducted to ensure that student’s support needs can be met. EVIDENCE: All except one of the students living in Spencers Lodge and Keal View had started at the college in September. One student, who had attended a nearby school, said that she had visited the college for a few days during her last school year. This had allowed her to sample college life, and helped her decide whether she wanted to join the college. She said, “Its been great so far”. Toynton Hall operates a programme, which is designed to help students to develop their independent living skills. This is split into three levels, or ‘programmes’. Keal View caters for students on programmes 1 and 2, and Spencers Lodge caters for students on programmes 2 and 3. The expert thought that this helps students do things more independently, which he thought was a good idea. It boosts students confidence and independence, and one student said, “I like living independent” Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The manager explained the admission process for students who were thinking about joining the college. This involves collecting reports and assessments from the student’s school, their Social Worker, their families, and any other professional involved. The student is then invited for a residential assessment at the college. Staff at the college will then make a decision as to whether the students support needs can be met. Student’s files contained a wide range of information about their support needs, and detailed information from schools and colleges that they attended before. There is one assessment bed in Keal View, used to assess prospective new students. Staff said that although the students were new to the college, they had received good information about them. One member of staff said, “We have two training weeks during the summer break, and this gave us preparation time to read assessments and care plans for the new students”. A student handbook has been introduced this term, which gives new students information about the college, including photographs of key staff, and information about the range of courses. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 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): 6, 7 & 9. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care plans accurately describe student’s support needs. Students make decisions and choices about their lifestyle, and develop independent living skills whilst risks are minimised. EVIDENCE: Students said that they have chosen their key workers this term, and have been fully involved and consulted about their care plans. Care plans contain a ‘focus page’ which gives staff quick reference information about student’s support needs. The focus page refers to the more detailed care plans and assessments. Care plans are reviewed with students every six weeks, in line with requirements from the Learning and Skills Council, who fund each placement. This involves a self-evaluation of progress by students. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Some students have a Person Centred Plan, and the expert spoke to a student who had one. Staff gave some examples of people’s plans being put into action. For example one student wanted to stay in touch with her family more, so she uses a computer to do this. However, the expert thought that all students should have a person centred plan. Each student has a decision making record in their care plan, which records discussions with key workers. Students said that they are encouraged to make their own decisions, but staff will help them if they have difficulties. Students meetings are held every Sunday, where decisions about meals and activities are made. During the inspection students were arranging to celebrate a birthday, and were ordering a take away meal. Staff offered discrete support, whilst encouraging the students to take responsibility for the ordering. The college has a Learners Council, where student representatives from each house can raise issues and concerns. A representative from advocacy services is also involved in the Learners Council, and contact details are contained in student’s care plans, and displayed prominently on notice boards. There is a list of house rules in Keal View. When asked if they made the rules, two students said “yes” and told the expert some of the rules. However, students in Spencers Lodge told the expert that they had not been involved in making the house rules. Staff are excellent at helping students to develop independent living skills, whist at the same time making sure that they are safe. Risk assessments are of a good quality, and cover the household and community dangers that students who have a high level of independence will face. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 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): 12, 13, 15, 16 & 17. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Educational and leisure opportunities are excellent within the college, and promote independent living skills, confidence and self-esteem for students. EVIDENCE: The college has a philosophy of a 24-hour curriculum, where skills gained in the college setting are transferred to the home setting. The educational staff and care staff work closely together, with Learner Assistants from the college providing support in the homes. Students can chose from a range of educational and vocational courses, and new students are given the opportunity to sample a range of courses. The college also offers evening classes during the week. The expert liked the fact that there are plenty of things to do. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Students told the expert what they enjoyed doing. “My favourite hobby is horse riding. I go every Friday.” “Shopping - I like to go swimming” “I went to horticulture - I go bowling at night” “Bowling tonight”, Pub, have a pint on the weekend - a lot of evening classes, match training and cars, swimming and cinema” “I’ve been horse riding this afternoon, and tonight I’ve got athletics – I’m really busy”. Students discuss weekend activities at their weekly meeting. Four students from Spencers Lodge had complained that they had not been able to attend a local firework display. Because of the short notice, staff support had not been arranged. There was evidence that the issue had been discussed with them, and it had been proposed that they attend the following day. Staff from Keal View had also offered to take them to the cinema, and the students had been satisfied with this. The expert thought that sometimes it seemed that there were too many things to do, too many things to remember and who was doing what. One student said, -”Sometimes we can’t go out if there is not a vehicle” Staff help students maintain contact with families by telephone and visits. All students were preparing to go home for the Christmas break, and several said that they were excited about this. Students told the expert that they get to see their friends, or be on their own if they want to. However, one said that she would like to see her boyfriend more and sometimes alone. Other students said: “We like going to the cinema, we arrange for him (my boyfriend) to come to tea” “I can be on my own, here in the computer room” Menus are discussed at the weekly meetings, and students are invited to put forward their own ideas for meals. Menus were inspected, and they corresponded with the suggestions put forward. Staff said that they try to encourage variety and healthy options, without being too directional. The expert liked it that everyone took turns and made food for each other, and said that there is support to help students to cook their dinner. Menus are hand written. A student said, “It would help if it had a picture of it”. The expert recommend there should be easy words and pictures of the meals. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 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): 18, 19 & 20. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents receive support according to their individual needs. There are good arrangements to ensure that their health needs are met. Medication storage and administration ensures safe practices. EVIDENCE: All students are registered with a local GP surgery. The college also employs a nurse. Other services such as Psychology, Psychiatry and Speech and Language Therapy are available through the Linkage Clinical Services Team. Students maintain their existing dental and opticians arrangements from their areas of origin. The Speech and Language Therapist has weekly input to help students who have communication difficulties. Staff receive medication training from the college nurse. The college operates a 7-stage graduated programme for self-medication, where the nurse assesses the competence of students. There are clear guidelines for staff on what level Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 of supervision and checks that they should be carrying out. Students have lockable storage in their rooms for medication. However, no students currently self-administer, but some are working towards this. A disused oxygen cylinder was found in a cupboard, which did not have the proper warning signs. The manager arranged to have this removed immediately. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 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): 22 & 23. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Students have confidence that staff will take complaints and concerns seriously, and feel safe living at the home. EVIDENCE: Copies of the complaints procedure are contained in residents care plans for their reference. There have been two complaints this term. One related to the firework display previously mentioned, and the other was about low water pressure in the shower, which is being attended to during the Christmas break. Students said that they would talk to staff if they had a complaint, and that they trusted staff to help them. However, the expert said that students need someone else like an independent advocate. He saw a poster about an advocate, but no students spoke about them. The expert would also like to see students joining in (or forming) self-advocacy groups. Staff interviewed demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the child and adult protection procedures, and what steps to take if they received an allegation. Students said that they felt safe living in the homes. All students have been given a copy of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) ‘Worried – need to talk’ booklet. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 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): 24 & 30. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Both houses are comfortable and well decorated, providing a pleasant environment for students to enjoy. EVIDENCE: There have been improvements to both houses since the last inspection, with some rooms being redecorated and furnished. There is a range of communal space for students to enjoy, and all those interviewed said that the accommodation was nice. The expert said there was a relaxed atmosphere. All students have their own key to their rooms for privacy. The expert asked students if they are allowed to decorate their rooms, and students were not sure. The expert thought that students should be encouraged to do what they want. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 The expert asked students if they chose who they share a room with. One student said he would choose to share with a different student. The expert thought that students should get to choose who they share a room with. However, another student said, “I share a room with my mate”. Students are responsible for their own cleaning and washing, and there are rotas agreed for communal household tasks, so that they are shared out fairly. A member of staff said, “Students can swap jobs by negotiating – for example, a student with mobility difficulties has swapped her jobs upstairs”. Because of a drainage problem, some laundry is done off site, but both homes are equipped with domestic washers and driers so that students to wash their own clothes on site. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 34 & 35. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff are well trained, supported and motivated. Staffing arrangements provide stability for students, ensuring that they are well supported. EVIDENCE: Each home has independence tutors who work opposite each other to provide cover. Two work in Spencers Lodge, and four work in Keal View. They work extended shifts over 3 or 4 days to cover 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. They are supported by Learner Assistants from the college, who provide additional support at key times. Students said that there are enough staff to support them. Staff said that the training they receive as good. One said that she had completed a Linkage and college induction, and had been booked on training soon after starting. She had not worked with people with a learning disability before, and said that her induction had been useful. The expert thought that the staff seemed well trained. They helped to remind people what they should do without being nagged. He thought that the staff were easy to get on with. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 One student told the expert that one of the staff had been ‘bossy’. This person does not work at the home now. However, the expert thought that it was good that the student could speak out and was not scared to say what she thought. The files of two new staff were inspected, and both contained evidence of a thorough recruitment and selection procedure, and contained the documents necessary for the protection of students.

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): 37, 39 & 42. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The homes are well organised and managed, with good quality monitoring systems in place within the Trust. Policies and procedures have been updated. Health and safety procedures ensure that students are safe. EVIDENCE: The registered manager has been on maternity leave, and returned at half term. The acting manager for this period said that he had enjoyed the experience. Staff described both homes as “well managed”, and said that they were consulted about issues, and felt valued for the work that they did. Toynton College (Cluster Two) DS0000061027.V322217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Linkage has good systems in place to monitor quality within the college, and to seek the views of students. Linkage Trust has a quality team, who are responsible for sending out questionnaires to students, families and placing authorities. A senior manager conducts regular visits, and the manager undertakes regular checks. The college has a number of ways of ensuring that student’s views are represented, and listened to, such as the Learners Council, personal tutorials and 1-1 key worker sessions. Policies and procedures have now been updated to include policies in relation to caring for children. Students have undertaken a ‘Safe Learner Induction Checklist’, which covers fire, accidents and staff support, so that they know the procedure to follow.
