Significant improvements at The Heart of England

We have lifted two of the three conditions imposed on The Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust.

The trust’s latest compliance report, released today, shows it has addressed our concerns relating to:

safeguarding people who use services
staffing
We inspected The Heart of England Trust on two separate, unannounced occasions. During these visits, we conducted interviews with staff and patients, and reviewed documentary evidence. The results show that the trust:

provides staff with training around safeguarding
encourages staff to make contact with external agencies to increase their understanding of safeguarding
documents safeguarding issues across the trust
The Heart of England now has until September to meet the third condition, which relates to supporting staff.
