What inspectors found

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.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Right Support People were regularly asked for their opinions and gave them freely. People were involved in discussions about their support and given information in a way they understood. Where people had support, they told us this was flexible, available when they needed it and to the level they needed. People were supported safely with medicines. Infection prevention and control practices reflected current guidance.

Right Care Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. The service worked well with other agencies to do so. The service had enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it. The provider understood the new electronic assessment tool required further enhancement to ensure it fully covered people's needs.

Right culture The service was open to new ways of working and ongoing improvements were introduced to promote independence and inclusivity. Staff placed people's wishes, needs and rights at the heart of everything they did. They sought advice and feedback from everyone involved in people's care. Staff were aware of and working to best practice guidance for supporting people with a learning disability and/or autistic people.
