What the results tell us
We continue to score highly for our staff being clear about what we can investigate. The previous increase in the number of people who feel that we are gathering all the information we need before making a decision has been reversed, which we are monitoring. We also need to get better at explaining our decisions. We are currently implementing a new training programme for staff to improve our communication of decisions and report-writing.
