TRANSPARENT SERVICE

We believe that individuals being supported should be provided with a safe environment and meeting their needs and expectations. This includes that on any occasion where the service standard falls below that which could reasonably be expected, there are schemes in place to address this.
Compliments and/or comments in relation to any aspect of the service or staff are welcomed and will be used to further improve standards.
