Read the full summary
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
The service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of right support, right care, right culture.
What inspectors found
Right support The service applied the principles and values of Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. These ensure that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes that include control, choice and independence. The outcomes for the people using the service reflected the principles and values of Registering the Right Support by promoting choice and control, independence and inclusion. The support focused on people having as many opportunities as possible to gain new skills and become more independent.
People were kept safe. Staff knew how to raise safeguarding concerns and how to report them appropriately. Risks to people were identified as part of the assessment and care planning procedure. Risk management strategies were in place to assist staff to manage these risks and to identify triggers for behaviours that may challenge, for people they were supporting. There were sufficient numbers of staff to meet people's needs. We saw that medicines were managed in a safe way.
