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 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. Staff focused on people's strengths and supported people to achieve their goals.

People were supported safely with medicines. Infection prevention and control practices reflected current guidance. Risk assessments were in place and provided staff guidance on how to manage these risks. It was very evident staff had ensured they fully understood the needs of people.

Right Care People received kind and compassionate care. Staff protected and respected people's privacy and dignity. They understood and responded to people's individual needs. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it. The service had enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe. People's care, treatment and support plans reflected their range of needs, and this promoted their wellbeing and enjoyment of life. The service had established good links in the local community and had worked in partnership with key organisations.

Right culture People were empowered because of the ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of the management team and staff. This meant people received compassionate and empowering care that was tailored to their needs. Staff placed people's wishes, needs, and rights at the heart of everything they did.

Questions to ask the service

  1. Ask to see the most recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) report and what the service did about any points in it.
  2. Ask how visit times are agreed and who covers when your usual carer is away.
