Kidderminster Hospital and Treatment Centre

We rated safe as good. The service made sure children and young people were safe from harm. Staff and managers ensured treatment and care was suitable for children, young people and their family and carers. There were enough competent staff available to care for children and young people. The service provided mandatory training in key skills to staff and most staff had completed it. Staff completed and updated risk assessments for each child and young person and removed or minimised risks. Staff were trained to act quickly with children and young people who became more ill whilst at the hospital. Staff knew how to identify children and young people at risk of, or suffering, significant harm and worked with other agencies to protect them. The buildings where staff cared for children were clean and safe. Staff used well maintained equipment used to provide treatment. There were safe systems in place to manage children’s and young people’s medicines safely.
