I thank the witnesses for coming along. I was thinking about staff, the culture and staff cohesion. Coming from a background working in acute psychiatry, I note that challenging behaviour is always a difficult one. Oberstown has it every day. The integration of the three units has posed some staff difficulties. Integration of the staff must be at the core of the culture Oberstown is trying to enhance. What qualifications do social care workers need to have and what is the staff structure within each unit in terms of manager and deputy? I need to know how that works. Is there any regulatory body to whom staff are accountable? There is no regulatory body for social care workers as far as I know. Perhaps that is a piece that is missing. A further update on those questions would be great.
