Well-led

Good

Updated 3 March 2025

Well-led – this means we looked for evidence that service leadership, management and governance assured high-quality, person-centred care; supported learning and innovation; and promoted an open, fair culture. At our last assessment we rated this key question Good. At this assessment the rating has remained Good. This meant the service was consistently managed and well-led. Leaders and the culture they created promoted high-quality, person-centred care. The provider and staff acted on the best information about risk, performance and outcomes, and shared this securely with others when appropriate. Staff were complimentary about the leaders at the service. One member of staff fed back, “[The provider] is a great listener, a great, great person with a big heart and very genuine. She goes out of her way for staff and service users. She's loyal to her staff.”
