“Dear Helena Just a short note to give you some feedback regarding last week’s inspection. Whilst a stressfull two days the experience was overwhelmingly viewed by the staff as positive. Obviously the outcome greatly contributes to this but your team and their challenging yet fair approach meant we all felt listened too and fully involved in the process. As opposed to that old done to feeling! The experience has certainly motivated us all to be even better.”
