They told us the Registered Manager had increased the number of staff during the night for them to be able to meet people’s needs. Staff felt they received enough training. One staff member told us, “I am an acting senior I have completed my NVQ3 and now would like to do my NVQ4.” Another staff member told us, “We have face to face training and online training. I prefer face to face it gives you chance to ask questions.” The registered manager told us they were fully staffed and only used agency staff during sickness or for people’s 1:1 hours. There were enough staff to meet people’s needs. Staff had received training to enable them to have the skills and knowledge to support people.
