About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 6 December 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Education & Life Skills - Warford is a residential care home that was providing personal care and accommodation for 18 people in two adapted 'houses' at the time of the inspection. The service specialises in supporting younger adults who have a learning disability or are autistic. Most of the people using the service were also students at the provider's school and specialist college on the same site.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The service has been developed and designed in line with the principles and values that underpin Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. This ensures that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes. The principles reflect the need for people with learning disabilities and/or autism to live meaningful lives that include control, choice, and independence.
What inspectors found
The Secretary of State has asked the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to conduct a thematic review and to make recommendations about the use of restrictive interventions in settings that provide care for people with or who might have mental health problems, learning disabilities and/or autism. Thematic reviews look in-depth at specific issues concerning quality of care across the health and social care sectors. They expand our understanding of both good and poor practice and of the potential drivers of improvement. As part of thematic review, we carried out a survey with the registered manager at this inspection. This considered whether the service used any restrictive intervention practices (restraint, seclusion and segregation) when supporting people. The service used some restrictive intervention practices as a last resort, in a person- centred way, in line with positive behaviour support principles.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The outcomes for people using the service reflected the principles and values of Registering the Right Support by promoting choice and control, independence and inclusion. People's support focused on them having as many opportunities as possible for them to gain new skills and become more independent.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
People were supported by a team of safely recruited, trained and experienced staff. People's received their medicines when they needed them, and their healthcare needs were met. People also benefitted from having access to support from a range of healthcare professionals and therapists who worked on site.
People were supported to access and participate in a range of activities, sports and pastimes they enjoyed. People were supported to meet people, socialise and try new things.
People were relaxed in the company of staff and each other. Relatives felt staff had a good understanding of
their loved one's needs and how to communicate with them effectively.
People received the support they needed to eat a balanced diet that met their needs and preferences. Mealtimes were flexible and varied according to individual needs and commitments.
People's needs had been assessed and planned for before they moved into the service. This helped to ensure that people received planned and co-ordinated person-centred support.
The registered manager and house managers had a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities and of people's needs. There were systems in place to assess the quality of the service people received and bring about improvements. Relatives and staff felt the service was managed well.
