The first thing - there is a caring atmosphere in the centre, I can see it and feel it from most of the staff. I think there needs to be more consistency of staff in the rooms, especially for the young people with autism, to help maintain familiarity, trust and relationships. It's important for the staff to know their individual habits and how to manage them.
As a Mum I would like to know a bit more about what is involved in the training. My son has epilepsy, I would like to know if the training is specific to different conditions or is it generalised. If it was possible I would like to see what training is provided regarding epilepsy.
My son came to the centre when he was a teenager and he is now in his 30s. A lot has changed over the years. When he first came there were a lot more activities, I think it needs more funding to maintain activities.
There is a massive garden area which could be put to better use, like interaction with ball games, going outside on days of good weather. Maybe they could do some gardening.
