The assessor from Logistica, Oneil Bashir, praised the way management dealt with staff to complete the training on time and was impressed with the support and involvement demonstrated to help staff get through the course.

Home manager Kim Jones said: “As a team, we like to be more proactive and ensure our staff are well trained in all areas, including new courses."

Mr Bashir added: “I’ve been assessing for many years, and I’ve been treated very well at Worthington Lake. I felt like an employee, I was free to come and go without any hassle; the home was amazingly accommodating. Kim was very supportive, the whole team were great, always professional.

“The management is brilliant, staff adhere to rules and, impressively, all of the learners who are still employed passed which is an amazing achievement.”
