Individual risks that people faced were managed by staff, the report said.

Staff knew people ‘well and understood the subtleties of their behaviour and body language’.

The report added: “People were treated with dignity and respect by caring staff who nurtured a family feel in the service.

“People were given choice and control in their lives and the service actively sought to provide support with the least restrictive practises.”
