A Bit About The Home  
This is a large house that is near to Burnley town centre.  It has a garden at the back and cars can park there. It is not far to walk to Burnley town centre. 13 people live in the home.  
There is a train station in Burnley.  There are lots of different bus routes. This means that the people who live at the home can get around easily.  Some people like to travel in the cars at the home that staff drive  
 

 

Most people who live at the home have their own bedroom.  Two people share a room  

 

   
 

THIS IS WHAT THE CSCI DID WHEN WE WERE AT THE HOME.

 
 
 

 

We talked to 6 people who live at the home.  

 

We also met one of the families of the people who live at the home.  

 

We looked at some of the policies and procedures in the office and what people living in the home showed us.  Policies are rules about how to do things.  Procedures tell people how to follow the rules.  

 

   
 

WHAT THE HOME DOES WELL

 
 
 

 

Before people come to live in the home, they meet with people who care about them.  They tell everybody what they would like help with, so that staff in the home know what to do to help.  

 

If someone wants to stay they can visit first and look around.  They will meet the staff that will help them.  They will meet other people living in the home and look at the bedroom they will have.  If this is al  right, they can move in.    

 

People living in the home tell staff what they want to do.  The staff will help them and make sure they keep safe.
