This supports (see Appendix I). The CIAT initiative was new in looking at the all parts of the national curriculum with a particular relevance to many ways in which green spaces could function, with many environmental education and rural studies. green spaces being multi-functional.

The service is registered to provide accommodation and nursing care for up to 31 people. On the day of our inspection there were 29 people living at the service. The service provides nursing and personal care support to people who have a neurological condition, such as acquired brain injury or chronic neurological disease and including the care of people living with dementia. The service had a registered manager. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are 'registered persons'. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run. This service was previously inspected in October 2015 and was rated as 'Requires Improvement'. The provider sent us their action plan describing the action they would take to meet regulatory requirements. At this inspection we found that improvements had been made.
