3. We will review care plans every month. Service users are free to suggest changes at any time and will be
communicated to if a the review identifies a need to propose a change to the plan. Service users are involved
in the process throughout. Reviews happen continually throughout the service to ensure MoralCare remains
responsive to changing needs and preferences.
Quality Statement
At Moral Care, we strive for nothing less than outstanding quality care services. We maintain quality by conducting
regular audits, self-assessment tools, CQC inspections, complaints forms, incident forms, regular team meetings,
carer support, service user questionnaires & feedback, management visits to service users and overall PASSION for
everything we do in supporting people and making a lasting positive difference to them.
Staff Quality Assurance
All our staff undergo a well-structured induction/shadowing period and are required to apply for an enhanced DBS
check and complete a right-to-work check. All staff members receive extensive training and training updates. They
will then be required to have completed our induction framework, medication competency, selected training modules
and demonstrated competence before working independently with service users. This process ensures each staff
member is introduced to all service users in the presence of a permanent staff member before working with one
another. We never want a service user to feel like a “stranger” is in their home.
Our induction process ensures staff:
➢ Have read care plans
➢ Can work independently, treat service users with privacy, dignity & respect
➢ Understand identifying, preventing, and reporting abuse
➢ Are aware of our policies & procedures and how to access them
➢ Experience/understanding of typical duties
➢ Understand the quality standard they are required to work to
➢ Follow confidentiality
➢ What duties they cannot undertake
➢ Have knowledge of the organisation
➢ Feel supported and competent before going into the field without direct supervision
➢ Are aware of our quality process and monitoring.
Random spot checks will be carried out to ensure staff are staying their allocated time, following uniform policy and
ensuring quality care is always being delivered and service users are satisified.

Status and Constitution
Private Limited Company. This is a domiciliary care agency owned by Rebecca Williamson and may be appropriately
managed by Moral Care and registered under Care Quality Commission.
Organisational Structure of The Facility
MANAGER ▶️ DEPUTY ▶️ SUPERVISOR ▶️ CARER
Number of Service User Accommodated or Provided with Services
The number of service users under the care of Moral Care will gradually grow throughout time. Moralcare intends to
adapt its facilities in order to meet demand in the future and will not accept admissions unless there are the required
staffing levels available to meet their needs.
Arrangements in place for consultation with service users about the operation of the organisation
Feedback surveys are issued every 6 months to each service user. The manager is in regular communication with
service users and carries out the initial assessment.
Arrangements in Place for Meeting Service User’s Spiritual/ religious needs
During the assessment process, service users are asked about which religion they support and if care workers need to
take any measures to respect their spiritual/religious needs, all of which, our staff will be respectful of.
The Arrangements for Dealing with Complaints
In brief, MoralCare aims to resolve concerns and complaints swiftly and effectively. The complainant will always
receive acknowledgment of their complaint within 48 hours. The manager will initially try to resolve the complaint
informally by discussing the matter with the service user or their representative (the complaint will always be
documented). The focus at this stage will be to “Problem solve” and agree a way forward which is acceptable to all
parties involved. It is expected that this will take up to 5 working days.
If the complaint cannot be resolved informally, it will be enhanced to an investigation. The manager will investigate
the matter and discuss the outcome with the service user, some details may be withheld if confidentiality is
compromised. It is expected at this stage of the procedure will take no longer than 14 working days. All service users
will have access to a complaints form in the back of their files or via the website.
Moral care endeavours to resolve any complaint within a 28 day period and will always listen to complaints without
prejudice.
During any stage of the procedure, the service user has the right to escalate the complaint to the care quality
commissions. CQC is the body responsible for registering, inspecting and regulating domiciliary care agencies.
