Staff Training
Phew is committed to providing the best possible provision and care for guests who use this service. It is our aim to ensure that all members of staff have the knowledge and training to support guests in any way that help is required. To achieve this, staff will receive such training both formal and informal as they require. Some of the training will be to address the needs of guests who are new to the service and other training will be to refresh or add to the knowledge and skills staff have already.
We believe in providing consistent, creative support by experienced and knowledgeable staff to support individuals. Staff have participated in Moving & Handling, Food Hygiene, Tracheostomy Care, First Aid, Epilepsy Training, Midazolam Administration, Hydrocortisone Administration, Gastrostomy Awareness & Epipen Training.
In addition, we have made a special effort to update and refresh adult protection training, challenging behaviour training, principles and value training and use of behaviour management intervention strategies training (CALM). Further sessions focused on the Keys to Life were linked to training introducing new support plan formats including planning for specific outcomes. As required, new staff are supported to obtain relevant qualifying courses in adult care.

Whistleblowing
We are committed to achieving and maintaining high standards with regard to behaviour at work, the services we provide and in all working practices. Staff can raise any issues which concern them at work via our whistleblowing process which provides the means to encourage the reporting of genuine concerns about malpractice, illegal acts or failures to comply with recognised standards of work without fear of reprisal or victimisation.
