Our key findings were as follows:
The practice had located induction training records for staff which included safeguarding adult training. Safeguarding adult training had been added to the practice’s training matrix, with dates of completion for each staff member. The practice was monitoring training and had identified staff who required refresher training within the next 12 months.
All staff had completed safeguarding children training to the appropriate level for their role.

Meeting minutes evidenced that outcomes of significant events and complaints were discussed and reflected upon to ensure lessons were learned.
There are areas where the practice should make improvements:
Consider having a written document to evidence that cleaning checks had been completed for treatment and consulting rooms.
