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. Right Support:
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People were supported to have choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests. However, the policies and systems in the service did not always support this practice. The provider had introduced a system of "safe staffing" which meant there was a limit to the numbers of agency staff the registered manager could use impacting people's quality of life?. Since the inspection we were told that the provider has stopped this system.
Right Care: People were supported in a way that promoted their dignity and privacy and in a person centred way. Staff were trained in how best to support people and when needed the provider delivered person specific training. Families felt that the staff treated the people they supported with consideration and respect.
Right Culture: The values of the manager and assistant manager were positively aligned to the ethos of ensuring autistic people lead inclusive lives. We observed staff working in a person centred way with the people they support, ensuring that they were making choices around their day to day activities wherever possible.
